Lyrics Jack-A-Roe [Live] - Grateful Dead
JACK-A-ROE
There
was
a
wealthy
merchant,
in
London
he
did
dwell
He
had
a
beautiful
daughter,
the
truth
to
you
I′ll
tell
Oh,
the
truth
to
you
I'll
tell
She
had
sweethearts
aplenty,
and
men
of
high
degree
But
none
but
Jack
the
sailor,
her
true
love
there
could
be
Oh,
her
true
love
there
could
be
Jackie′s
gone
a-sailing
with
trouble
on
his
mind
He's
left
his
native
country,
and
his
darling
girl
behind
Oh,
his
darling
girl
behind
She
went
down
to
a
tailor's
shop
and
dressed
in
mens′
array
She
climbed
on
board
a
vessel
to
convey
herself
away
Oh,
to
convey
herself
away.
Before
you
get
on
board,
sir,
your
name
we′d
like
to
know
She
smiled
all
in
her
countenance,
"They
call
me
Jack-A-Roe."
Oh,
they
call
me
Jack-A-Roe.
I
see
your
waist
is
slender,
your
fingers
they
are
small
Your
cheeks
too
red
and
rosy
to
face
the
cannonball.
Oh,
to
face
the
cannonball.
I
know
my
waist
is
slender,
my
fingers,
they
are
small
But
it
would
not
make
me
tremble
to
see
ten
thousand
fall
Oh,
to
see
ten
thousand
fall.
The
wars
then
being
over,
she
went
and
looked
around
Among
the
dead
and
wounded,
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
She
sent
for
a
physician
who
quickly
healed
his
wounds
Oh,
who
quickly
healed
his
wounds.
This
couple,
they
got
married,
so
well
they
did
agree
This
couple,
they
got
married,
so
why
don't
you
and
me
Oh,
so
why
don′t
you
and
me?
