R.Kern - Jackaroe | |
There was a wealthy merchant | |
In London he did well | |
He had a lovely daughter | |
The truth to you I'll tell | |
Oh, the truth to you I'll tell | |
She had sweethearts aplenty and men of high degree | |
There was none but Jack the sailor | |
Her true love ever could be | |
Oh, her true love ever could be | |
Now Jackie's gone a-sailing with trouble on his mind | |
To leave his native country and his darling girl behind | |
Oh, his darling girl behind | |
She went into a tailor shop and dressed in men's array | |
And stepped on board a vessel to convey herself away | |
Oh, convey herself away | |
"Before you step on board, sir. Your name I'd like to know" | |
"She smiled all in her countenance, | |
"They call me Jackaroe" | |
"Oh, they call me Jackaroe | |
"Your waist is light and slender, | |
Your fingers are neat and small | |
Your cheeks too red and rosy to face the cannonball" | |
"Oh, to face the cannonball | |
"I know my waist is slender, my fingers neat and small | |
But it would not make me tremble to see ten thousand fall" | |
"Oh, to see ten thousand fall | |
The war soon being over | |
They hunted all around | |
And among the dead and dying | |
Her darling boy she found | |
Oh, her darling boy she found | |
She picked him up all in her arms | |
.. . .And carried him to the town | |
And sent for a physician who quickly healed his wounds | |
Oh, who quickly healed his wounds | |
This couple they got married | |
So well they did agree | |
This couple they got married | |
So why not you and me ? | |
Oh, so why not you and me ? |
