Jack B Lyrics
I met me an Irish sailor boy
Who spent all his life on the sea
To this day I wish that I’d never
Set eyes on his ferry Jack B
His cheeks they were wild and rosy
He considered life’s danger his play
His eyes were as green as the breakers
And as bright as the light ocean spray
Twas a hard twisted fate that was cruel
As cruel as any can be
For twas then that my poor heart was stolen
By the young sailor boy and the sea
I spoke to him then of my fancies
And thought that he’d listen to me
But he said I was naught but a child
And married he never would be
So I fled from the water I fled from the bay
Vowed him I never would see
But if ever a wish was granted to me
I'd wish us back on the ferry Jack B
Beware of young irish sailor boys
Who spend all their lives on the sea
Night and day you’ll wish that you’d never
Set eyes on the ferry Jack B
Over many a land I have travelled
Never again I’ll be free
For wherever I roam I will pine for the day
That I first fell in love with the sea
For wherever I roam I will pine for the day
That I first saw the ferry Jack B
Who spent all his life on the sea
To this day I wish that I’d never
Set eyes on his ferry Jack B
He considered life’s danger his play
His eyes were as green as the breakers
And as bright as the light ocean spray
As cruel as any can be
For twas then that my poor heart was stolen
By the young sailor boy and the sea
And thought that he’d listen to me
But he said I was naught but a child
And married he never would be
Vowed him I never would see
But if ever a wish was granted to me
I'd wish us back on the ferry Jack B
Who spend all their lives on the sea
Night and day you’ll wish that you’d never
Set eyes on the ferry Jack B
Never again I’ll be free
For wherever I roam I will pine for the day
That I first fell in love with the sea
That I first saw the ferry Jack B
