Lyrics Jack Mulroe - Andy Irvine
Now
as
Jack
he
went
a-roving
with
trouble
on
his
mind
For
the
leaving
of
his
country
and
his
darling
girl
behind
With
me
dithery-idle-dyddle-di,
Me
ditheree
idle
dando
Rich
lords
they
came
to
court
her
and
squires
of
great
fame
There
was
none
but
Jack
the
sailor
lad
this
lady's
heart
could
gain
Says
the
old
man
to
his
daughter
now
if
this
be
true
of
thee
O
Jack
he
will
be
banished
and
confined
you
will
be
You
may
confine
my
body
but
you
can't
confine
my
mind
For
it
is
Jack
the
sailor
lad
that's
won
this
heart
of
mine
And
she
went
into
a
tailor's
shop
and
dressed
in
man's
array
To
ship
on
board
of
a
man
of
war
and
convey
herself
away
Before
you
get
on
board
with
us
your
name
we'd
like
to
know
With
a
smile
upon
her
countenance
they
call
me
Jack
Mulroe
O
your
waist
it
does
look
slender
and
your
fingers
do
look
small
And
your
cheeks
are
red
as
rosy
for
to
face
the
cannonball
My
cheeks
they
may
look
rosy
and
my
fingers
may
look
small
But
I
would
not
start
or
tremble
though
ten
thousand
round
me
fall
And
the
drums
did
loudly
rattle
and
loud
music
it
did
play
And
upon
the
field
of
battle
then
they
all
did
march
away
They
fought
all
day
with
valour
and
likewise
with
might
and
main
And
a
sergeant
and
two
officers
by
this
fair
maid
were
slain
And
when
the
war
was
over
in
a
circle
she
marched
round
And
among
the
dead
and
wounded
her
sailor
boy
she
found
Coming
up
the
streets
of
Mohill
she
raised
him
in
her
arms
And
she
sent
for
the
best
of
doctors
for
to
heal
his
bleeding
wounds
Then
up
and
stepped
her
father
saying
my
daughter's
gone
from
me
And
divil
the
feature
in
her
face
but
does
resemble
thee
She
says
I
am
your
daughter
and
likewise
your
daughter
dear
I
fought
through
the
wars
in
Germany
and
I
have
my
Johnny
here
And
the
bonfires
blazed
on
every
hill
as
you
may
plainly
see
For
to
welcome
this
young
couple
home
from
the
wars
of
Germany
And
her
father
then
he
gave
consent
to
join
in
wedlock
bands
Besides
he
gave
her
a
thousand
pounds
a
thousand
and
free
land
