1
There was a wealthy merchant
2
In London he did dwell
3
He had a lovely daughter
4
The truth to you I'll tell
5
Oh, truth to you I'll tell
6
She had sweethearts a-plenty
7
And men of high degree
8
There was none but Jack the sailor
9
Her true love e're would be
10
Oh, her true love e're could be
11
Now Jackie's gone a-sailing
12
With trouble on his mind
13
To leave his native country
14
And his darling girl behind
15
Oh, his darling girl behind
16
She went into a tailor shop
17
And dressed in men's array
18
And stepped on board a vessel
19
To convey herself away
20
Oh, convey herself away
21
Well before you step on board, sir
22
Your name I'd like to know
23
She smiled all in her countenance
24
They call me Jackaroe
25
Oh, they call me Jackaroe
26
Your waist is light and slender
27
Your fingers are neat and small
28
And your cheeks too red and rosy
29
To face the cannonball
30
Oh, to face the cannon-ball
31
Well, I know my waist is slender
32
My fingers are neat and small
33
But it would not make me tremble
34
To see ten thousand fall
35
Oh, to see ten thousand fall
36
The war soon being over
37
She hunted all around
38
And among the dead and dying
39
Her darling boy she found
40
Oh, her darling boy she found
41
She picked him up all in her arms
42
And carried him to the town
43
And sent for a physician who
44
Quickly healed his wounds
45
Oh, who quickly healed his wounds
46
This couple they got married
47
So well did they agree
48
This couple they got married
49
So why not you and me?
50
Oh, so why not you and me?
