Verse 1
(A minor) As I was a -walking down
Watchit's Wayne Street
For a jolly old shipmate
I chanced for to meet
Hello, brother (F major) sailor, you're
(A minor) wel come to home
In season to Watchit,
I think you are come
Now, don't you remember
once courting a maid
And through your long absence
(C major) a tailor (G major) she'll wed
For to (F major) morrow in Bristol there went to be
(E minor) An (F major) d I've been invited
for the (G major) same to (A minor) see
Now Jack went and got licence
that very same night
And walked into Bristol
as soon as (G major) twas light
He (F major) sat in the temple churchyard
for (E minor) a while
Till he (F major) saw the bride coming,
which caused (G major) Jack to (A minor) smile
He went and he took this fair maid
by the hand
You're going to be married,
as I under (G major) stand
But (F major) if ever you marry,
then you shall be mine
(E minor) That's (F major) why I've come here,
for to balk (G major) your de (A minor) sire
The Lord said, the fair maid,
now what shall I do?
I know I was solemnly (C major) promised to (G major) you
But the (F major) sailor's my true love
and I'll be his (E minor) bride
There's (F major) none in this world
I'd a family be (A minor) side
Now the tailor, he roared
like a man that's gone mad
I'm ruined, I'm ruined,
I'm ruined, (G major) he said
For (F major) you that have sweethearts,
take them while you may
(E minor) Or (F major) else those Jack Tarms,
they will take them away
