《Jack-a-Roe》歌词

[00:00:00] Jack-a-Roe - Joan Baez

[00:00:04] There was a wealthy merchant

[00:00:07] In London he did well

[00:00:10] He had a lovely daughter

[00:00:12] The truth to you I'll tell

[00:00:16] Oh the truth to you I'll tell

[00:00:20] She had sweethearts a plenty

[00:00:22] And men of high degree

[00:00:26] There was none but jack the sailor

[00:00:29] Her true love there could be

[00:00:33] Oh her true love there could be

[00:00:39] Now Jackie's gone a sailing

[00:00:41] With trouble on his mind

[00:00:45] To leave his native country

[00:00:47] And his darling girl behind

[00:00:51] Oh his darling girl behind

[00:00:58] She went into a tailor shop

[00:01:01] And dressed in men's array

[00:01:04] And stepped on board a vessel

[00:01:06] To convey herself away

[00:01:10] Oh to convey herself away

[00:01:14] Before you step on board sir

[00:01:16] Your name I'd like to know

[00:01:20] She smiled all in her countenance

[00:01:22] They call me jack roe

[00:01:26] Oh they call me jack roe

[00:01:32] Your waist is light and slender

[00:01:34] Your fingers are neat and small

[00:01:38] Your cheeks too red and rosy

[00:01:40] To face the cannonball

[00:01:44] Oh to face the cannonball

[00:01:48] I know my waist is slender

[00:01:50] My fingers neat and small

[00:01:53] But it would not make me tremble

[00:01:55] To see ten thousand fall

[00:01:59] Oh to see ten thousand fall

[00:02:05] The war soon being over

[00:02:07] They hunted all around

[00:02:11] And among the dead and dying

[00:02:13] Her darling boy she found

[00:02:16] Oh her darling boy she found

[00:02:21] She picked him up all in her arms

[00:02:23] And carried him to the town

[00:02:26] And sent for a physician who

[00:02:29] Quickly healed his wounds

[00:02:32] Oh who quickly healed his wounds

[00:02:36] This couple they got married

[00:02:38] And well they did agree

[00:02:41] This couple they got married

[00:02:43] So why not you and me

[00:02:47] Oh so why not you and me
