Jack-a-Roe (Live) - Joan Baez[00:00:00]

There was a wealthy merchant[00:00:05]

In london he did dwell[00:00:07]

He had a lovely daughter[00:00:10]

The truth to you I'll tell[00:00:12]

Oh the truth to you I'll tell[00:00:16]

She had sweethearts a plenty[00:00:21]

And men of high degree[00:00:23]

There was none but jack the sailor[00:00:26]

Her true love there could be[00:00:29]

Oh her true love there could be[00:00:33]

Now jackie's gone a sailing[00:00:39]

With trouble on his mind[00:00:41]

To leave his native country[00:00:45]

And his darling girl behind[00:00:47]

Oh his darling girl behind[00:00:51]

She went into a tailor shop[00:00:58]

And dressed in men's array[00:01:01]

And stepped on board a vessel[00:01:04]

To convey herself away[00:01:06]

Oh to convey herself away[00:01:10]

Before you step on board sir[00:01:14]

Your name I'd like to know[00:01:17]

She smiled all in her countenance[00:01:20]

They call me jackaroe[00:01:22]

Oh they call me jackaroe[00:01:26]

Your waist is light and slender[00:01:32]

Your fingers are neat and small[00:01:34]

Your cheeks too red and rosy[00:01:37]

To face the cannonball[00:01:40]

Oh to face the cannonball[00:01:44]

I know my waist is slender[00:01:48]

My fingers neat and small[00:01:50]

But it would not make me tremble[00:01:53]

To see ten thousand fall[00:01:55]

Oh to see ten thousand fall[00:01:59]

The war soon being over[00:02:05]

They hunted all around[00:02:07]

And among the dead and dying[00:02:10]

Her darling boy she found[00:02:13]

Oh her darling boy she found[00:02:16]

She picked him up all in her arms[00:02:21]

And carried him to the town[00:02:23]

And sent for a physician who[00:02:26]

Quickly healed his wounds[00:02:29]

Oh who quickly healed his wounds[00:02:32]

This couple they got married[00:02:36]

And well they did agree[00:02:38]

This couple they got married[00:02:41]

So why not you and me[00:02:44]

Oh so why not you and me[00:02:47]
