Black Jack Davey
Key: DEnglish
AmBlack Jack Davey come ridin' on back
A whistlin' loud and Emmerry
AmMade the woods around him ring
And he charmed the heart of a Gla--dy D
Charmed the heart of a Gla--dy D
AmHow old are you my pretty little miss
How old are you my Emhoney?
AmShe answered to him with a lovin' smile
"I'll be sixteen come GSun--Dday
Be sixteen come GSun--Dday"
AmCome and go with me my pretty little miss
Come and go with me my Emhoney
AmTake you where the grass grows green
You never will want for Gmon--Dey
You never will want for Gmon--Dey
AmPull off pull off them high-heeled shoes
All made of Spanish Emleather
AmGet behind me on my horse
And we'll ride off Gto--Dgether
We'll both go off Gto--Dgether
AmWell she pulled off them high-heeled shoes
Made of Spanish Emleather
AmGot behind him on his horse
And they rode off Gto--Dgether
They both rode off Gto--Dgether
AmAt night the boss came home
Inquiring about his Emlady
AmThe servant spoke before she thought
"She's been with Black Jack GDa--Dvey
Rode off with Black Jack GDa--Dvey"
AmWell saddle for me my coal-black stud
He's speedier than the Emgray
I Amrode all day and I'll ride all night
And I'll overtake my Gla--Ddy
I'll bring back my Gla--dy D
AmWell he rode all night till the broad daylight
Till he came to a river Emragin'
AmAnd there he spied his darlin' bride
In the arms of Black Jack GDa--Dvey
Wrapped up with Black Jack GDa--Dvey
AmPull off pull off them long blue gloves
All made of the finest Emleather
AmGive to me your lily-white hand
And we'll go home Gto--Dgether
We'll both go home Gto-Dgether
AmWell she pulled off them long blue gloves
All made of the finest Emleather
AmGave to him her lily-white hand
And said goodbye Gfor--Dever
Bid farewell Gfor--Dever
AmWould you forsake your house and home
Would you forsake your Embaby?
AmWould you forsake your husband too
To go with Black Jack GDa--Dvey
Ride off with Black Jack GDa--Dvey?
AmWell I'll forsake my house and home
And I'll forsake my Embaby
AmI'll forsake my husband too
For the love of Black Jack GDa--Dvey
Love my Black Jack GDa--Dvey
AmLast night I slept in a feather bed
Between my husband and Embaby
AmTonight I lay on the river banks
In the arms of Black Jack GDa--Dvey
Love my Black Jack GDa--Dvey
