When Jack comes on shore,
G
he has money galore,
C

and he's seldom cut short of a job
C
He can dress as well now,
G
as many can tell,

with a good silver watch in his fob

Poor Jack in his life

though sometimes with

when the reckoning come due,

That sea -faring, sail -making,

we fell in with a squall,

at the thought of my spirit it chills.
We were cast up on rocks

Oh, Jack without fail

was out in that same gale

Having drove across Bonnevist Bay

But Providence kind was

so ease as the wind,

And on seamen so constantly thinks.

O death it will come,
G
like the sound of a drum,
C

For to summon poor Jack to his grave.

What more could he do,
G
for you know all is true,
C

C
Tis the fate of both hero and slave.
His soul soars afloat,
G
so doleful and soft,
C
G
While the bell for the funeral clinks.
C

All peace to that seafaring, sail -making,
C
G
C
gambling, dog -drinking hero, John Hanks.
