Subject: Lyr Add: OUR JACK'S COME HOME TODAY
If there's a sea version out there that's different than the 2 that Doerflinger give's in his Shantymen & Shantyboys I'd sure be greatful. Still looking after all these years. Doerflinger's got: "Our Jack's Come Home Today"
Oh, Jack's come home from sea today, All brown & bronzed was he. But his heart's as true as it was of yore, His spirit's light & gay You littlr know the joy we felt When he came home todat Our Jack's come home today
CH: Our Jack's come home today, Our Jack's come home today. The good ship Jane's in port again Our Jack's come home today
Our Jack's come home from sea today To make his Neil his bride With loving heart she ne'er despaired Though all hope within her died Her eyes grew dim, her cheeks grew pale, She slowly pinned away. All danger's past; he's safe at last, For he came home today.
