"They All Love Jack"
by Stephen Adams
When the ship is trim and ready,
And the jolly days are done,
When the last good-byes are whispered,
And Jack a-board is gone;
The lasses fall a-weeping,
As they watch his vessels track,
For all the landsmen lovers
Are nothing after Jack.
For all the landsmen lovers
Are nothing after Jack.
~~~~
~ Chorus ~
For his heart is like the sea,
Ever open, brave, and free,
And the girls must lonely be.
Till his ship comes back;
But if love's the best of all,
That can a man befall,
Why Jack's the king of all,
For they all love Jack!
~~~~
Where he goes their hearts go with him,
E'en his ship he calls her "she";
Up a loft that "little cherub"
Sure a maiden she must be.
And as o'er the sea he travels,
The mermaids down below
Would give their crystal kingdoms
For the love of Jack, I trow,
Would give their crystal kingdoms
For the love of Jack I trow.
~~~~
~ Chorus ~
~~~~
When he's sail'd the world all over,
And again he steps ashore,
There are scores of lasses waiting
To love him all the more;
He may lose his golden guineas,
But a wife he'll never lack,
If he'd wed them all, they'd take him,
For they all love Jack!
If he'd wed them all, they'd take him,
For they all love Jack!
