jack b - the willis clan lyrics

Loading...

i met me an irish sailor boy
who spent all his life on the sea
to this day i wish that i’d never
set eyes on his ferry jack b

his cheeks they were wild and rosy
he considered life’s danger his play
his eyes were as green as the breakers
and as bright as the light ocean spray

twas a hard twisted fate that was cruel
as cruel as any can be
for twas then that my poor heart was stolen
by the young sailor boy and the sea

i spoke to him then of my fancies
and thought that he’d listen to me
but he said i was naught but a child
and married he never would be

so i fled from the water i fled from the bay
vowed him i never would see
but if ever a wish was granted to me
i’d wish us back on the ferry jack b

beware of young irish sailor boys
who spend all their lives on the sea
night and day you’ll wish that you’d never
set eyes on the ferry jack b

over many a land i have travelled
never again i’ll be free
for wherever i roam i will pine for the day
that i first fell in love with the sea

for wherever i roam i will pine for the day
that i first saw the ferry jack b
