She went into a tailor shop

And dressed in men's array

And stepped on board a vessel

To convey herself away
Am E Am
Oh, convey herself away
[Verse 5]
Am C
Before you step on board sir
E E7
Your name I'd like to know
Am C
She smiled all in her countenance
F C
They call me Jack-a-roe
Am E Am
Oh, they call me Jack-a-roe
[Verse 6]
Am C
Your waist is light and slender
E E7
Your fingers are neat and small
Am C
Your cheeks too red and rosy
F C
To face the cannonball
Am E Am
Oh, to face the cannonball
[Verse 7]
Am C
I know my waist is slender
E E7
My fingers are neat and small
Am C
But it would not make me tremble
F C
To see ten thousand fall
Am E Am
Oh, to see ten thousand fall
[Verse 8]
Am C
The war soon being over
E E7
They hunted all around
Am C
And among the dead and dying
F C
Her darling boy she found
Am E Am
Oh, her darling boy she found
[Verse 9]
Am C
She picked him up all in her arms
E E7
And carried him to the town
Am C
And sent for a physician
F C
Who quickly healed his wounds
Am E Am
Oh, who quickly healed his wounds
[Verse 10]
Am C
This couple they got married
E E7
So well did they agree
Am C
This couple they got married
F C
So why not you and me?
Am E Am
Oh, so why not you and me?
