Lyrics
Jack Tar Traditional A sailor was walkin one fine summers day A squire and his lady were passin his way And the sailor heard the squire say: Tonight with you, love, I mean to lay With me doomy-amma dingy-amma doomy-ammma day You must tie a string all around yer finger With the other end of the string hanging out yer winder And Ill come by and Ill pull that string, then you must come down and let me in With me doomy-amma dingy-amma doomy-ammma day Thought Jack to himself: Ive a mind to try To see if a poor sailor cant win him that prize So he came by and he pulled that string, then she came down and she let old Jack in With his doomy-amma dingy-amma doomy-ammma day The squire came by he was whistlin a song Thinkin to himself that it wouldnt be long But when he got there no string he found. Behold his hopes were all dashed to the ground With his doomy-amma dingy-amma doomy-ammma day The maiden arose it was just gettin light She jumped up from the bed with a terrible fright For there lay old Jack in his tarry old shirt. Behold his hands were all covered with dirt And his doomy-amma dingy-amma doomy-ammma day Oh what do you want you tarry sailor Sneakin in a ladys bedroom to steal her treasure Oh no, said Jack, I just pulled that string, then you came down and you let me in With me doomy-amma dingy-amma doomy-ammma day Then Jack said: Oh forgive me I pray And Ill steal away very quietly in the dawn of the day Oh no, said she, dont go too far, for I never will part with my jolly Jack tar And his doomy-amma dingy-amma doomy-ammma day
