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