《Jack - A - Roe》歌词

[00:00:11] There was a wealthy merchant in london he did dwell

[00:00:15] He had a beautiful daughter the truth to you we'll tell

[00:00:22] Oh the truth to you we'll tell

[00:00:27] She had sweethearts a plenty and men of high degree

[00:00:32] But none but jack the sailor her true love ever be

[00:00:39] Oh her true love ever be

[00:00:43] Jackie's gone a sailing with trouble on his mind

[00:00:48] He's left his native country and his darling girl behind

[00:00:55] Oh his darling girl behind

[00:01:49] She went down to a tailor shop and dressed in man's array

[00:01:53] She climbed on board a vessel to convey herself away

[00:01:59] Oh convey herself away

[00:02:04] Before you get on board sir your name we'd like to know

[00:02:09] She smiled on her countenance they called me jack a roe

[00:02:15] Oh they called me jack a roe

[00:02:21] I see your waist is slender your fingers they are small

[00:02:26] Your cheeks too red and rosy to face the cannonball

[00:02:31] Oh to face the cannonball

[00:02:37] I know my waist's to slender my fingers they are small

[00:02:42] But it would not make me tremble to see ten thousand fall

[00:02:47] Oh to see ten thousand fall

[00:03:58] The war soon being over she went and looked around

[00:04:02] Among the dead and wounded her darling boy she found

[00:04:08] Oh her darling boy she found

[00:04:14] She picked him up on in her arms and carried him to the town

[00:04:18] She sent for a physician to quickly heal his wounds

[00:04:24] Oh to quickly heal his wounds

[00:04:30] This couple they got married so well they did agree

[00:04:35] This couple they got married so why not you and me

[00:04:40] Oh why not you and me

[00:04:44] Oh why not you and me
