nancy kerr & sandra kerr - jackie munroe كلمات الأغنية

down into this country
there lived a wealthy squire
and he’d an only daughter
who was charming young and fair

chorus (after each verse):
sing tirra dooway, dooway_o
tirra dooway dooway

she had sweethearts plenty
to marriage was inclined
and none but john the soldier
could gain this lady’s mind

and when her father came to know
so angry then he swore
“i’ll give the gang ten guineas
to press young john to the war!”

but she robbed her wicked father
got money at her command
and she went to list in the army
drеssed up like a man

“your waist it is too slendеr
your fingers fine and small
your cheeks too red and too rosy
to face the cannon ball.”
“it’s true my waist is slender
my fingers they are small
but it wouldn’t change my countenance
to see ten thousand fall.”

“before you join our regiment
your name i wish to know.”
she smiled all over her face, she did
“they call me jackie munro.”

so she sailed all over the ocean
and over the deep blue sea
till she got safely landed
in the wars of germany

well upon the battlefield
she fought it up and down
till among the dead and the wounded
her darling john she found

“they have promoted me,” she said
“they have promoted me
unto a colonel’s commission
so married we can be.”

then up and spoke the general
and this is what he said
“it’s against the laws of the country
for two men to be wed.”
then up and spoke the chaplain
“such things we can’t allow!”
she took her broadsword from her side
“i’ll make this do for you!”

so now the two are married
as you may plainly know
and john the wounded soldier
got his little jackie munro
