| [00:05.74] |
There was a wealthy merchant, |
| [00:07.99] |
In London he did dwell |
| [00:11.07] |
He had a lovely daughter, |
| [00:13.71] |
The truth to you I'll tell |
| [00:17.62] |
Oh the truth to you I'll tell |
| [00:21.50] |
|
| [00:24.05] |
She had sweethearts a-plenty |
| [00:27.16] |
And men of high degree |
| [00:30.64] |
There was none but Jack the sailor, |
| [00:34.00] |
Her true love e'er could be |
| [00:39.71] |
Oh her true love e'er could be |
| [00:40.80] |
|
| [00:42.07] |
Now Jackie's gone a-sailing |
| [00:45.05] |
With trouble on his mind |
| [00:47.34] |
To leave his native country |
| [00:49.05] |
And his darling girl behind |
| [00:51.33] |
Oh, his darling girl behind. |
| [00:58.78] |
She went into a tailor shop |
| [01:01.69] |
And dressed in men's array |
| [01:05.77] |
And stepped on board a vessel |
| [01:09.06] |
To convey herself away |
| [01:10.35] |
Oh, to convey herself away. |
| [01:14.62] |
"Before you step on board, sir, |
| [01:17.64] |
Your name I'd like to know" |
| [01:21.24] |
She smiled all in her countenance, |
| [01:26.18] |
"They call me Jackaroe" |
| [01:28.62] |
Oh, they call me Jackaroe. |
| [01:32.61] |
"Your waist is light and slender, |
| [01:34.75] |
Your fingers are neat and small |
| [01:38.38] |
Your cheeks too red and rosy |
| [01:40.86] |
To face the cannonball" |
| [01:44.36] |
Oh, to face the cannon-ball. |
| [01:48.07] |
"I know my waist is slender, |
| [01:51.10] |
My fingers neat and small |
| [01:53.66] |
But it would not make me tremble |
| [02:00.21] |
To see ten thousand fall" |
| [02:02.08] |
Oh, to see ten thousand fall. |
| [02:05.72] |
The war soon being over, |
| [02:07.86] |
They hunted all around |
| [02:11.16] |
And among the dead and dying |
| [02:16.90] |
Her darling boy she found |
| [02:20.98] |
Oh, her darling boy she found. |
| [02:21.83] |
|
| [02:23.37] |
She picked him up all in her arms |
| [02:24.71] |
And carried him to the town |
| [02:26.18] |
And sent for a physician who |
| [02:28.66] |
Quickly healed his wounds |
| [02:31.95] |
Oh, who quickly healed his wounds. |
| [02:36.34] |
This couple they got married |
| [02:38.43] |
And well they did agree |
| [02:41.71] |
This couple they got married, |
| [02:44.45] |
So why not you and me |
| [02:47.51] |
Oh, so why not you and me. |
