Well, Jon hasn't sent me the stuff so I have transcribed the words. Jon, as you can hear from the track is a wonderful, young guitarist. He has just taken the jump and turned professional. If you would like to book him, and I suggest you do, an excellent evening guaranteed, pm me and I will give you a contact number. Jacky Tar Jacky Tar one day out walking, He's heard a squire and the lady talking. Jack heard him to the lady say "Tonight with you, I mean to lay" With my in my own and my good lac-a- daisy Righ fol de diddle, Right fol de day "Just tie a string all round your finger Let the other end dangle all from your window, Then I'll come by and pull on the string You come down and you'll let me in, With my in my own and my good lac-a- daisy Righ fol de diddle, Right fol de day "Damn me", says Jack, "Why don't I venture, To see if a poor sailor can't win such a treasure." So he's gone by and pulled on the string And she's came down and she let him in With my in my own and my good lac-a- daisy Righ fol de diddle, Right fol de day The squire came by, in such a fashion, He cursed all women throughout the nation, For he's got there, no string he's found Behold, his hopes were dashed to the ground With my in my own and my good lac-a- daisy Righ fol de diddle, Right fol de day The sun arose the very next morning, And the lady arose and started screaming For there lay Jack in his tarry shirt And behold, his face all covered with dirt With my in my own and my good lac-a- daisy Righ fol de diddle, Right fol de day "How came you here you tarry sailor? Have you broken in to steal my treasure?" "Oh no," says Jack, "I pulled on the string You came down and let me in" With my in my own and my good lac-a- daisy Righ fol de diddle, Right fol de day Well, he says, "I beg your pardon" But I'll steal off quiet so no one shall see me." "Oh no!" she says, "Don't you go far For I never will part from my little Jacky Tar With my in my own and my good lac-a- daisy Righ fol de diddle, Right fol de day I have no details of how Jon came by this song. Regards, now we can put this to bed Chris
