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 [F]name I've en[C]graved on the high rocks and [F]shore
Over [C]Camp Flat and river, I'm very well known
They [F]call me Jack [C]Haggerty, the [G]pride of the [C]town
I worked on the river by night and by day
'Til the [F]blacksmith's fair [C]daughter my heart stole a[F]way
I'm the [C]boy that stands happy on the dark, burling stream
And my [F]thoughts were on [C]Annie, she [G]haunted my [C]dreams
INSTRUMENTAL: [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [G] [C]
I gave her fine jewels, the finest of lace
The [F]costliest [C]muslins, her form to em[F]brace
And I [C]gave her my wages, all for to keep safe
I de[F]prived her of [C]nothing I [G]had on this [C]earth
I worked on the river, I earned quite a stake
I was [F]steadfast and [C]steady, and ne'er played the [F]rake
For that [C]fair blacksmith's daughter, I'd soon make my bride
And I [F]courted her [C]sweetly by the [G]Flat River [C]side
INSTRUMENTAL: [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [G] [C]
Then, one day on the river, a note I received
Saying [F]she from her [C]promise, herself she did [F]leave
And she'd [C]wed with another, a long time delayed
And the [F]next time I'd [C]see her, she'd no [G]more be a [C]maid
To her mother, Jane Tucker, I laid all the blame
Well, she [F]caused her to [C]leave me and go back on my [F]name
And to [C]cast off the riggings that god was to tie
And to [F]leave me a [C]wanderer 'til the [G]day that I [C]die
INSTRUMENTAL: [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [G] [C]
So, come all ye bold raftsmen with hearts stout and true
Don't [F]give your heart [C]quickly, you're beat if you [F]do
And [C]when your head's turned by a dark chestnut curl
Just re[F]member Jack [C]Haggerty and the [G]Flat River [C]girl
## NOTE: On the studio recording, the end of this song transitions ##
## into an instrumental, 'Le Tourment', which is omitted here ##
