There was a wealthy merchant, in London he did dwell,
he had a lovely daughter, the truth to you l' ll tell,
oh the truth to you.I'll tell..
She had sweethearts a-plenty and men of high degree,
there was none but Jack the sailor her true love ever could be,
oh her true love ever could be. .
Now Jackie's gone a-sailing with trouble on his mind
to leave his native country and his darling girl behind,
oh his darling girl behind.
She went into a tailor shop and dressed.in men's array
and stepped on board a vessel to convey herself away,
oh convey herself away.
"Before you step on board, sir, your name I'd like to know".
She smiled all in her countenance, "They call me Jackaroe,
oh they calI me Jackaroe".
"Your waist is light and slender,your fingers are neat and small,
your cheeks too red and rosy to face the cannon ball,
oh to face the:cannon ball".
"l know my waist is slender , my fingers neat and small,
but it would not make me tremble to see ten thousand fall,
oh to see ten thousand fall".
The war soon being over, they hunted all around,
and among the dead and dying her darling boy she found,
oh her darling boy she found.
She picked him up aIl in her arms and carried him to the town
and sent for a physician who quickly healed his wounds,
oh who quickly healed his wounds.
This couple, they got married, so well did they agree,
this couple, they got married, so why not.You and me,
oh so why not you and me?
