She took him by his long yellow hair And also by his feet She plunged him into well water, where It runs both cold and deep "Lie there, lie there, Love Henry," she cried "'Til the flesh rots off your bones Some pretty little girl in Cornersville Will mourn for your return" "Hush up, hush up, my parrot," she cried "Don't tell no news on me Or these costly beads around my neck I'll apply them all to thee" "Fly down, fly down pretty bird," she cried "And light on my right knee The doors to your cage shall be decked with gold And hung on a willow tree" "I won't fly down, I can't fly down And light on your right knee A girl who would murder her own true love Would kill a little bird like me"

Ragged And Dirty

<Trad>
The main riff appears everywhere where there's a
G
, and is always played twice.
The adjacent open strings should ring, to get the clash between the
Bb
and the
B
.
Most of the melody notes come a little before the beat, played on the upstrokes.
Strum lightly throughout all of this, to indicate the basic rhythm.
For the initial slide up, your index finger is already in place from the
C
chord.

To play this quickly and smoothly, try to play the figure in the second line
as a half-barre on the eight fret with the middle finger on the ninth, then
let that slide down to form the basis of the "D-shape" chord on the fifth
fret, with the rest of the strings fingered with the ring and little fingers.

Oh, the truth to you I'll tell She had sweethearts a-plenty and men of high degree There was none but Jackie Frazier, her true love e'er to bee Oh, her true lover e'er to be "Oh daughter, oh daughter your body I will confine If none but Jack the sailor, would ever suit your mind Oh, would ever suit your mind" "This body you may imprison, my heart you can't confine There's none but Jack the Sailor would have this heart of mine Oh, would have this heart of mine" Now Jackie's gone a-sailing with trouble on his mind To leave his native country and his darling girl behind Oh, his darling girl behind She went into the tailor shop and dressed in men's array Then she went into a vessel to convey herself away Oh, convey herself away "Before you step on board, sir, your name I'd like to know" She smiled all in her countenance, said, "They call me Jack-A-Roe" Oh, they call me Jack-A-Roe "Your waist is light and slender, your fingers neat and small Your cheeks too red and rosy for to face the cannonball" Oh, to face the cannonball "I know my waist is slender and my fingers they are small But it would not make me tremble for to see ten thousand fall" Oh, to see ten thousand fall The war soon being over, they hunted all around Among the dead and dying her darling love she found Oh, her darling love she found She picked him up all in her arms and carried him to town And sent for her physician to quickly heal his wounds Oh, to quickly heal his wounds This couple, they got married, so well they did agree This couple they got married, so why not you and me Oh, so why not you and me?
