Stories On Vinyl专辑

  • 作词 : Traditional
    作曲 : Traditional

    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 a-plenty
    And men of high degree
    There was none but Jack the sailor
    Her true lover could be
    Oh her true lover 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, to 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 cannon-ball
    "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
    And well they did agree
    This couple they got married
    So why not you and me
    Oh, so why not you and me
