Jackaro Pete Seeger

[Verse 1]
There was a wealthy merchant, in London he did dwell
He had a lovely daughter, the truth to you I'll tell
Oh, the truth to you I'll tell

[Verse 2]
Her sweethearts they were plentiful, she courted day and night
Until on Jackie Fraser she placed her heart's delight
Oh, she placed her heart's delight

[Verse 3]
"Oh, daughter dearest daughter, your body I'll confine
If none but Jack the sailor can ever suit your mind
Oh, can ever suit your mind"

[Verse 4]
"This body you may 'prison, my heart you can't confine
There's none but Jackie Fraser shall have this heart o' mine
Oh, shall have this heart o' mine"

[Verse 5]
Her parents saw him comin', they flew in an angry way
They gave him forty shillings to bear him far away
Oh, to bear him far away

[Verse 6]
He sailed across the ocean, across the deep blue sea
'Til safely he was landed in the wars of Germany
Oh, the wars of Germany
