Jack The Sailor Lyrics - Row Upon Row Of The People They Know - Once

Jack the sailor came on shore 

as free it is his fortune 

For he had plenty of gold in store 

last time he sailed the ocean. 

Chorus: 

I'll go up to my true love's door 

to see if she loves me yes or no, 

Saying: 'Nance, will you wed, say yes or no', 

saying: 'Nance, will you marry a sailor?' 

Nance looked up all with a frown - 

'Do you think I'd marry you, no not I, 

I will get some man of an high renown, 

do you think I'd marry a sailor?' 

Chorus: 

I'll go up to my true love's door 

to see if she loves me yes or no, 

Saying: 'Nance, will you wed, say yes or no', 

saying: 'Nance, will you marry a sailor?' 

Jack put his hands into his pocket, 

pulling out two handfuls of gold, 

Saying: ' Nance will you we say yes or no,' 

saying, 'Nance will you marry a sailor?' 

Chorus: 

I'll go up to my true love's door 

to see if she loves me yes or no, 

Saying: 'Nance, will you wed, say yes or no', 

saying: 'Nance, will you marry a sailor?' 

Nancy looked up all with a smile, 

the thought of the money in her heart did go - 

'For I've been joking all the while, 

be sure I'd marry a sailor!' 

Jack put up a public line, 

plenty of gold and silver coin, 

Leaving poor Nance with a fret and a frown 

the day she refused her sailor 

Jack the sailor came on shore 

as free it is his fortune 

For he had plenty of gold in store 

last time he sailed the ocean. 

I'll go up to my true love's door 

to see if she loves me yes or no, 

'Nance, will you wed, say yes or no', 

saying: 'Nance, will you marry a sailor?' 

I'll go up to my true love's door 

to see if she loves me yes or no, 

'Nance, will you wed, say yes or no', 

saying: 'Nance, will you marry a sailor?' 

I'll go up to my true love's door 

to see if she loves me yes or no, 

'Nance, will you wed, say yes or no', 

saying: 'Nance, will you marry a sailor?' 

I'll go up to my true love's door 

to see if she loves me yes or no, 

'Nance, will you wed, say yes or no', 

saying: 'Nance, will you marry a sailor?' 

I'll go up to my true love's door 

to see if she loves me yes or no,
