Seems fairly straightforward. A girl loves a man her father won't let her marry, a sailor. When he gets shipped off to war, she dresses like a man and joins the Navy under the assumed name of Jack-A-Roe. Then she finds him, fixes him up, and they get hitched.
I love the way he sings "Oh daughter, oh daughter, your body I will confine". I don't know why, I just like the way he sings it. :)
Hooray! I love this song!
That's why I uploaded it.
