Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E
James Keelaghan - Jack Haggerty CAPO: 2nd Fret INTRO: C F C F C F C G C I'm a stout hearted raftsman where white waters roar
And my Fname I've enCgraved on the high rocks and Fshore Over CCamp Flat and river, I'm very well known They Fcall me Jack CHaggerty, the Gpride of the Ctown
I worked on the river by night and by day
'Til the Fblacksmith's fair Cdaughter my heart stole aFway I'm the Cboy that stands happy on the dark, burling stream And my Fthoughts were on CAnnie, she Ghaunted my Cdreams
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C F C F C G C I gave her fine jewels, the finest of lace
The Fcostliest Cmuslins, her form to emFbrace And I Cgave her my wages, all for to keep safe I deFprived her of Cnothing I Ghad on this Cearth
I worked on the river, I earned quite a stake
I was Fsteadfast and Csteady, and ne'er played the Frake For that Cfair blacksmith's daughter, I'd soon make my bride And I Fcourted her Csweetly by the GFlat River Cside
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C F C F C G C Then, one day on the river, a note I received
Saying Fshe from her Cpromise, herself she did Fleave And she'd Cwed with another, a long time delayed And the Fnext time I'd Csee her, she'd no Gmore be a Cmaid
To her mother, Jane Tucker, I laid all the blame
Well, she Fcaused her to Cleave me and go back on my Fname And to Ccast off the riggings that god was to tie And to Fleave me a Cwanderer 'til the Gday that I Cdie
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C F C F C G C So, come all ye bold raftsmen with hearts stout and true
Don't Fgive your heart Cquickly, you're beat if you Fdo And Cwhen your head's turned by a dark chestnut curl Just reFmember Jack CHaggerty and the GFlat River Cgirl
