Lyrics
Come all ye trueborn shanty boys Wherever you may be Come sit here on the deacon seat And listen onto me 'Tis of the Jam on Jerry's Rocks And the hero you should know The bravest of the shanty boys Our foreman young Monroe 'Twas on a Sunday mornin' There daylight did appear Our logs were piled up mountain high We could not keep them clear 'Till six of our brave shanty boys They did agree to go And break the Jam on Jerry's Rocks With foreman young Monroe We had not picked up many a-log Till Monroе he did say "This Jam will soon give way boys, I'll see you far away I'll send you off thе drive me boys, for the jam it soon will go" Then he picked the key log out of the drive And off went young Monroe When the rest of all the shanty boys the bad news came to hear They gathered at the river and downward they did steer And then they found to their surprise, and sorrow, grief and woe All caught and mangled on the beach Lay the form of young Monroe
