Jacket So Blue A ship’s crew of sailors as you may understand ?Bound for the West Indies or some foreign land? There’s one lad amongst them I wish I never knew ?He’s my bonnie, bonnie sailor with a jacket so blue The first time I saw my love he’d a spy glass in his hand ?I went to talk to him but he would not stand ?I went to talk to him but from me he flew? And my heart it went along with him and his jacket so blue Says I my noble sailor I’ll buy your discharge ?I’ll free you from sailing and set you at large ?I’ll free you from that man-o-war if your heart does be true ?And I’d never let a stain on your jacket so blue Well said I my noble lady you’ll buy my discharge? You’ll free me from sailing and set me at large ?You’ll free me from that man-o-war if my heart does be true ?Ah but then what would my own lovely Scotch lassie do For I have a lassie in my own country ?And I would not slight her for her poverty ?If I were to slight her then my heart wouldn’t be true ?For she never left a stain on my jacket so blue I’ll write off to Dublin to an artist of skill? And I’ll have my love’s picture drawn out in its full ?And I’ll place it in my chamber quite close to my view? And I’ll say I loved a sailor with a heart that was true Traditional, Arranged by Cara Dillon Sam Lakeman Bright Morning Star Bright morning star arising Bright morning star arising Bright morning star arising Day is breaking in my soul Oh where are our dear mothers Oh where are our dear mothers Oh where are our dear mothers Day is breaking in my soul They are down in the valley praying They are down in the valley praying They are down in the valley praying Day is breaking in my soul Oh where are our dear fathers Oh where are our dear fathers Oh where are our dear fathers Day is breaking in my soul They have gone to heaven shouting They have gone to heaven shouting They have gone to heaven shouting Day is breaking in my soul Bright morning stars arising Bright morning stars arising Bright mornin
