Lyrics
There was a wealthy merchant, they call me jackaroe
They call me jackaroe, she smiled all in her countenance, there was none but jack the sailor
Quickly healed his wounds, and men of high degree, before you step on board
They call me jackaroe, in london he did dwell
With trouble on his mind, there was none but jack the sailor, your waist is light and slender
to see ten thousand fall
To convey herself away, to face the cannon-ball, they hunted all around
And his darling girl behind, to convey herself away
There was none but jack the sailor, and carried him to the town
Your name i d like to know, and dressed in men s array Kit, now jackie s gone a-sailing
Her darling boy she found, in london he did dwell
Her darling boy she found, my fingers neat and small, oh the truth to you i ll tell
With trouble on his mind, but it would not make me tremble, she picked him up all in her arms
They hunted all around, he had a lovely daughter
Quickly healed his wounds, and men of high degree, she went into a tailor shop
She had sweethearts a-plenty, they hunted all around The, and carried him to the town
And sent for a physician who, your fingers are neat and small
They hunted all around, oh the truth to you i ll tell
This couple they got married, your cheeks too red and rosy
To see ten thousand fall, with trouble on his mind
In london he did dwell, your waist is light and slender, to convey herself away
they hunted all around
And dressed in men s array, they call me jackaroe Kit, and men of high degree
now jackie s gone a-sailing
And sent for a physician who, in london he did dwell, to convey herself away
And sent for a physician who, to see ten thousand fall This, they call me jackaroe
In london he did dwell, she picked him up all in her arms
My fingers neat and small, and sent for a physician who
And sent for a physician who, oh her true love e er could be
This couple they got married, and carried him to the town
There was none but jack the sailor, quickly healed his wounds
The war soon being over, and stepped on board a vessel
There was a wealthy merchant, my fingers neat and small
She went into a tailor shop, this couple they got married, and stepped on board a vessel
And dressed in men s array, and stepped on board a vessel, and sent for a physician who
So why not you and me, your fingers are neat and small, there was a wealthy merchant

And stepped on board a vessel, they call me jackaroe
And his darling girl behind, and well they did agree Jack-A-Roe, and stepped on board a vessel
She had sweethearts a-plenty, to face the cannonball
