Jack-A-Roe lyrics
Song information
Artist: Bob Dylan Album: World Gone Wrong
Lyrics
Oh, there was a wealthy merchant, in london he did dwell He had a lovely daughter, the truth to you I'll tell Oh, the truth to you I'll tell
She had sweethearts a-plenty and men of high degree There was none but jackie frazier, her true love e'er to be Oh, her true love e'er to be
"Oh daughter, oh daughter, your body I will confine If none but jack the sailor would ever suit your mind Oh, would ever suit your mind
"This body you may imprison, my heart you can't confine There's none but jack the sailor would have this heart of mine Oh, would have this heart of mine
Now jackie's gone sailing with trouble on his mind To leave his native country and his darling girl behind Oh, his darling girl behind
She went into the tailor shop and dressed in men's array Then she went into the vessel to convey herself away Oh, convey herself away
"Before you step onboard, sir, your name I'd like to know." She smiled all in her countenance, said, "they call me jack-a-roe Oh, they call me jack-a-roe."
"Your waist is light and slender, your fingers neat and small Your cheeks too red and rosy for to face the cannonball Oh, to face the cannonball
"I know my waist is slender and my fingers they are small But they would not make me tremble for to see ten thousand fall Oh, to see ten thousand fall."
The war soon being over, they hunted all around Among the dead and dying her darling love she found Oh, her darling love she found
She picked him up all in her arms and carries him to town And sent for her physician to quickly heal his wounds Oh, to quickly heal 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
