[00:02.19]Oh I am Jack and a jolly tar O
[00:04.40]I'm just returned from the sea so far O
[00:07.14]Oh I am Jack and a jolly tar
[00:09.10]I'm just returned from the sea so far
[00:11.51]Hey diddley dingo
[00:13.36]Hey diddley ding
[00:15.45]As Jack was walking through London city
[00:17.72]He heard a squire talking to a lady
[00:20.04]And Jack he heard the squire say:
[00:22.23]'Tonight with you love I mean to stay
[00:28.87]'You must tie a string all around your finger
[00:31.14]With the other end hanging out the window
[00:33.41]And I'll slip by and pull the string
[00:35.65]And you must come down and let me in '
[00:42.02]'Damn me ' says Jack 'if I don't venture
[00:44.14]For to pull that string hanging out the window '
[00:46.72]So he slipped by and he pulled the string
[00:49.19]And the lady came down and let him in
[00:57.05]The squire came by all in a passion
[00:59.25]'Curse the women throughout the nation
[01:01.77]Look being seeing no string I've found
[01:03.80]Behold my hopes all gone aground '
[01:12.33]Early in the morning the sun was gleaming
[01:14.30]The lady woke up and started screaming
[01:16.70]For there's old Jack in his tarry shirt
[01:18.90]And behold his face all streaked with dirt
[01:25.85]'Oh what is this you tarry sailor
[01:28.17]Have you broken in for to steal my treasure '
[01:30.61]'Oh no ' says Jack 'I just pulled the string
[01:32.74]And you came down ma'am and let me in '
[01:39.73]'Oh ' then says Jack 'won't you please forgive me
[01:42.87]I'll steal away so no-one shall see me '
[01:45.90]'Oh no ' says she 'don't stray too far
[01:48.10]For I never will part from my jolly Jack Tar '
[01:53.89]Hey diddley dingo
