  25 Am                                   C             Am
  26 Oh, there was a wealthy merchant, in London he did dwell
  27    Am           C             F                 C           /b

  29 Am      E                 Am
  30 Oh, the truth to you I'll tell.

  32 She had sweethearts a-plenty and men of high degree
  33 There was none but Jackie Frazier, her true love e'er to bee
  34 Oh, her true lover e'er to be.
  35
  36 &quot;Oh daughter, oh daughter your body I will confine
  37 If none but Jack the sailor, would ever suit your mind
  38 Oh, would ever suit your mind.&quot;
  39
  40 &quot;This body you may imprison, my heart you can't confine
  41 There's none but Jack the Sailor would have this heart of mine
  42 Oh, would have this heart of mine.&quot;
  43
  44 Now Jackie's gone a-sailing with trouble on his mind
  45 To leave his native country and his darling girl behind
  46 Oh, his darling girl behind.
  47
  48 She went into the tailor shop and dressed in men's array
  49 Then she went into a vessel to convey herself away
  50 Oh, convey herself away.
  51
  52 &quot;Before you step on board, sir, your name I'd like to know&quot;
  53 She smiled all in her countenance, said, &quot;They call me Jack-A-Roe&quot;
  54 Oh, they call me Jack-A-Roe.
  55
  56 &quot;Your waist is light and slender, your fingers neat and small
  57 Your cheeks too red and rosy for to face the cannonball&quot;
  58 Oh, to face the cannonball.
  59
  60 &quot;I know my waist is slender and my fingers they are small
  61 But it would not make me tremble for to see ten thousand fall&quot;
  62 Oh, to see ten thousand fall.
  63
  64 The war soon being over, they hunted all around
  65 Among the dead and dying her darling love she found
  66 Oh, her darling love she found.
  67
  68 She picked him up all in her arms and carried him to town
  69 And sent for her physician to quickly heal his wounds
  70 Oh, to quickly heal his wounds.
  71
  72 This couple, they got married, so well they did agree
  73 This couple they got married, so why not you and me
  74 Oh, so why not you and me ?
