Black Jack Davey come ridin' on back[00:00:01]

A whistlin' loud and merry[00:00:05]

Made the woods around him ring[00:00:07]

And he charmed the heart of a lady[00:00:11]

Charmed the heart of a lady[00:00:15]

How old are you my pretty little miss[00:00:19]

How old are you my honey [00:00:30]

She answered to him with a lovin' smile[00:00:31]

"I'll be sixteen come Sunday[00:00:33]

Be sixteen come Sunday"[00:00:35]

Come and go with me my pretty little miss[00:00:38]

Come and go with me my honey[00:00:40]

Take you where the grass grows green[00:00:43]

You never will want for money[00:00:47]

You never will want for money[00:00:49]

Pull off pull off them high-heeled shoes[00:00:51]

All made of Spanish leather[00:00:55]

Get behind me on my horse[00:01:00]

And we'll ride off together[00:01:01]

We'll both go off together[00:01:03]

Well she pulled off them high-heeled shoes[00:01:04]

Made of Spanish Leather[00:01:06]

Got behind him on his horse[00:01:07]

And they rode off together[00:01:10]

They both rode off together[00:01:12]

At night the boss came home[00:01:14]

Inquiring about his lady[00:01:15]

The servant spoke before she thought[00:01:16]

"She's been with Black Jack Davey[00:01:18]

Rode off with Black Jack Davey"[00:01:20]

Well saddle for me my coal-black stud[00:01:23]

He's speedier than the gray[00:01:25]

I rode all day and I'll ride all night[00:01:27]

And I'll overtake my lady[00:01:31]

I'll bring back my lady[00:01:33]

Well he rode all night till the broad daylight[00:01:34]

Till he came to a river ragin'[00:01:37]

And there he spied his darlin' bride[00:01:39]

In the arms of Black Jack Davey[00:01:41]

Wrapped up with Black Jack Davey[00:01:44]

Pull off pull off them long blue gloves[00:01:46]

All made of the finest leather[00:01:48]

Give to me your lily-white hand[00:01:50]

And we'll go home together[00:01:51]

We'll both go home together[00:01:53]

Well she pulled off them long blue gloves[00:01:54]

All made of the finest leather[00:01:56]

Gave to him her lily-white hand[00:01:58]

And said goodbye forever[00:02:00]

Bid farewell forever[00:02:01]

Would you forsake your house and home[00:02:04]

Would you forsake your baby [00:02:07]

Would you forsake your husband too[00:02:11]

To go with Black Jack Davey[00:02:13]

Ride off with Black Jack Davey [00:02:15]

Well I'll forsake my house and home[00:02:16]

And I'll forsake my baby[00:02:18]

I'll forsake my husband too[00:02:20]

For the love of Black Jack Davey[00:02:21]

Love my Black Jack Davey[00:02:25]

Last night I slept in a feather bed[00:02:26]

Between my husband and baby[00:02:28]

Tonight I lay on the river banks[00:02:29]

In the arms of Black Jack Davey[00:02:31]

Love my Black Jack Davey[00:02:32]
