Please can anyone supply the lyrics and music for a song called captain jack from De Dannan's Hibernian Rhapsody album, also does anyone know who wrote the song?

First verse:- captain jack was a young man when he went to sea oh young ladies come kiss him goodbye he was barely a child of twenty and three oh young ladies go tell him from me he can marry the mermaid that lives in the sea.

Does any have the rest PLEASE. Alan

I don't have the music, but I can refer you to the songwriter's site... Her name is Meg Davis, and you can find out a ton of information at her site here.

Hope this helps

Also, I think you will find that Meg Davies herself is very approachable. I posted something to her using her site before Christmas not really expecting anything back and I got a most delightful reply.
