作曲：Traditional

Oh I am Jack and a jolly tar O

I'm just returned from the sea so far O

Oh I am Jack and a jolly tar

I'm just returned from the sea so far

Hey diddley dingo

Hey diddley ding

As Jack was walking through London city

He heard a squire talking to a lady

And Jack he heard the squire say:

'Tonight with you love I mean to stay

'You must tie a string all around your finger

With the other end hanging out the window

And I'll slip by and pull the string

And you must come down and let me in '

'Damn me ' says Jack 'if I don't venture

For to pull that string hanging out the window '

So he slipped by and he pulled the string

And the lady came down and let him in

The squire came by all in a passion

'Curse the women throughout the nation

Look being seeing no string I've found

Behold my hopes all gone aground '

Early in the morning the sun was gleaming

The lady woke up and started screaming

For there's old Jack in his tarry shirt

And behold his face all streaked with dirt

'Oh what is this you tarry sailor

Have you broken in for to steal my treasure '

'Oh no ' says Jack 'I just pulled the string

And you came down ma'am and let me in '

'Oh ' then says Jack 'won't you please forgive me

I'll steal away so no-one shall see me '

'Oh no ' says she 'don't stray too far

For I never will part from my jolly Jack Tar '

Hey diddley dingo

Hey diddley dingo

Hey diddley ding

Diddley ding
