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
