There Was A Wealthy Merchant - Steeleye Span[00:00:00]
There was a wealthy merchant[00:00:27]
In London he did dwell[00:00:30]
He had a beautiful daughter[00:00:36]
The truth to you I'll tell[00:00:39]
Oh the truth to you I'll tell[00:00:44]
She had sweethearts a-plenty[00:00:54]
And men of high degree[00:00:57]
But none but Jack the sailor[00:01:02]
Her true love ere could be[00:01:06]
Oh her true love ere could be[00:01:11]
Jack he's gone a-sailing[00:01:21]
With trouble on his mind[00:01:24]
He's left his king and his country[00:01:29]
And his darling girl behind[00:01:32]
Oh his darling girl behind[00:01:37]
She went down to a tailor's shop[00:02:14]
And dressed in men's array[00:02:17]
She's signed a bill of passage[00:02:22]
To convey herself away[00:02:26]
Oh convey herself away[00:02:29]
Before you get on board Sir[00:02:37]
Your name we'd like to know[00:02:40]
She smiled all in her countenance[00:02:45]
They call me Jack-a-Roe[00:02:49]
Oh they call me Jack-a-Roe[00:02:53]
I see your waist is slender[00:03:04]
Your fingers they are small[00:03:07]
Your cheeks to red and rosy[00:03:10]
To face the cannonball[00:03:14]
I know my waist is slender[00:03:14]
And my fingers they are small[00:03:21]
But it would not make me tremble[00:03:23]
To see ten thousand fall[00:03:27]
To see them fall[00:03:33]
The war soon being over[00:03:41]
She went and looked around[00:03:44]
Among the dead and wounded[00:03:49]
Her darling boy she found[00:03:52]
Oh her darling boy she found[00:03:57]
She picked him up all in her arms[00:04:04]
And carried him to the town[00:04:08]
She sent for a physician[00:04:12]
Who quickly healed his wounds[00:04:16]
Oh who quickly healed his wounds[00:04:21]
This couple they got married[00:04:30]
So well they did agree[00:04:34]
This couple they got married[00:04:39]
So why not you and me [00:04:42]
Oh why not you and me[00:04:48]
