[00:04.06]There was a wealthy merchant
[00:07.06]In London he did well
[00:09.79]He had a lovely daughter
[00:12.55]The truth to you I'll tell
[00:16.32]Oh the truth to you I'll tell
[00:20.58]She had sweethearts a-plenty
[00:22.72]And men of high degree
[00:26.23]There was none but Jack the sailor
[00:29.01]Her true lover could be
[00:32.48]Oh her true lover could be
[00:38.83]Now Jackie's gone a-sailing
[00:41.59]With trouble on his mind
[00:44.54]To leave his native country
[00:47.06]And his darling girl behind
[00:50.66]Oh, his darling girl behind
[00:58.30]She went into a tailor shop
[01:00.67]And dressed in men's array
[01:03.91]And stepped on board a vessel
[01:06.06]To convey herself away
[01:09.47]Oh, to convey herself away
[01:13.99]"Before you step on board, sir
[01:16.39]Your name I'd like to know"
[01:19.27]She smiled all in her countenance
[01:22.01]"They call me Jackaroe"
[01:25.50]Oh, they call me Jackaroe
[01:31.82]"Your waist is light and slender
[01:34.33]Your fingers are neat and small
[01:37.45]Your cheeks too red and rosy
[01:39.54]To face the cannonball"
[01:43.03]Oh, to face the cannon-ball
[01:47.50]"I know my waist is slender
[01:49.96]My fingers neat and small
[01:52.90]But it would not make me tremble
[01:55.35]To see ten thousand fall"
[01:58.93]Oh, to see ten thousand fall
[02:04.95]The war soon being over
[02:07.24]They hunted all around
[02:10.45]And among the dead and dying
[02:12.91]Her darling boy she found
[02:15.99]Oh, her darling boy she found
[02:20.37]She picked him up all in her arms
[02:23.03]And carried him to the town
[02:25.80]And sent for a physician who
[02:28.60]Quickly healed his wounds
[02:31.88]Oh, who quickly healed his wounds
[02:35.76]This couple they got married
[02:38.31]And well they did agree
[02:41.29]This couple they got married
[02:43.98]So why not you and me
[02:47.36]Oh, so why not you and me
