the journeymen - jack the sailor lyrics

[intro]
(i’ll set the beat, okay?) (okay)
(one+two+three
one+two+three, one+two+three
one+two+three, one+two+three, one)
(what happens now?)
(one)

[verse 1]
a sailor went walkin (one+two+three, i have it) one fine summers day (one+two+three, i think i have it)
a squire and his lady were makin’ their way
when jack, he heard the squire say (one+two+three)
tonight, love, with you i need to lay
with me doomy+amma, dingy+amma, doomy+amma+day

[verse 2]
“just tie the string all around your finger
other end of the string hangin’ out the window
well, i’ll come by, and i’ll pull the string
you will come down and let me in
with me doomy+amma, dingy+amma, doomy+amma+day”

[verse 3]
says jack to himself, “i’ve a mind to try
to see if a poor sailor, he can’t win that prize”
so, he did come by, and he pulled the string
lady come down, and she let old jack in
with his doomy+amma, dingy+amma, doomy+amma+day
[verse 4]
the squire come by, he was hummin’ this song
think to himself that it wouldn’t be long
but when i got there no string got found
and behold my hopes were all dashed to the ground
with doomy+amma, dingy+amma, doomy+amma+day

[verse 5]
early next mornin’ it was just gettin’ light
when the lady woke in bed in a terrible fright (ah!) that’s right
for there lay jack in his sweated shirt
with his hands all covered with tar and dirt
and his doomy+amma, dingy+amma, doomy+amma+day

[verse 6]
“oh, what do you want, you dirty sailor?
to break into a lady’s bedroom and steal her treasure?”
(treasure? i thought this was the y)
“oh no,” says jack, “i just pulled the string
and then you did come down, and ya let me in
with me doomy+amma, dingy+amma, doomy+amma+day”

[verse 7]
says jack to the lady, “forgive me i cry (lots of luck, charlie)
and i’ll steal away very quietly at the dawn of the day”
“oh no,” says the lady, “don’t stray too far
for i’d never part with me jolly jack tar
and his doomy+amma, dingy+amma, doomy+amma+day
[outro]
and his doomy+amma, dingy+amma, doomy+amma+day”

(thank you)
