[00:04.06] There was a wealthy merchant
[00:07.06] In London he did well
[00:09.79] He had a lovely daughter
[00:12.55] The truth to you I'll tell
[00:16.32] Oh the truth to you I'll tell
[00:20.58] She had sweethearts a-plenty
[00:22.72] And men of high degree
[00:26.23] There was none but Jack the sailor
[00:29.01] Her true lover could be
[00:32.48] Oh her true lover could be
[00:38.83] Now Jackie's gone a-sailing
[00:41.59] With trouble on his mind
[00:44.54] To leave his native country
[00:47.06] And his darling girl behind
[00:50.66] Oh, his darling girl behind
[00:58.30] She went into a tailor shop
[01:00.67] And dressed in men's array
[01:03.91] And stepped on board a vessel
[01:06.06] To convey herself away
[01:09.47] Oh, to convey herself away
[01:13.99] "Before you step on board, sir
[01:16.39] Your name I'd like to know"
[01:19.27] She smiled all in her countenance
[01:22.01] "They call me Jackaroe"
[01:25.50] Oh, they call me Jackaroe
[01:31.82] "Your waist is light and slender
[01:34.33] Your fingers are neat and small
[01:37.45] Your cheeks too red and rosy
[01:39.54] To face the cannonball"
[01:43.03] Oh, to face the cannon-ball
[01:47.50] "I know my waist is slender
[01:49.96] My fingers neat and small
[01:52.90] But it would not make me tremble
[01:55.35] To see ten thousand fall"
[01:58.93] Oh, to see ten thousand fall
[02:04.95] The war soon being over
[02:07.24] They hunted all around
[02:10.45] And among the dead and dying
[02:12.91] Her darling boy she found
[02:15.99] Oh, her darling boy she found
[02:20.37] She picked him up all in her arms
[02:23.03] And carried him to the town
[02:25.80] And sent for a physician who
[02:28.60] Quickly healed his wounds
[02:31.88] Oh, who quickly healed his wounds
[02:35.76] This couple they got married
[02:38.31] And well they did agree
[02:41.29] This couple they got married
[02:43.98] So why not you and me
[02:47.36] Oh, so why not you and me
