Jackaroe (live) Lyrics

	作词 : Traditional
	R.Kern - Jackaroe

	There was a wealthy merchant
	In London he did well
	He had a lovely daughter
	The truth to you I'll tell
	Oh, the truth to you I'll tell
	She had sweethearts aplenty 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 call me Jackaroe
	"Your waist is light and slender,
	Your fingers are neat and small
	Your cheeks too red and rosy to face the cannonball"
	"Oh, to face the cannonball
	"I 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 all 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 they did agree
	This couple they got married
	So why not you and me ?
	Oh, so why not you and me ?
