B lack Jack Davey come ridin' on back
A whistlin' loud and m erry
M ade the woods around him ring
And he charmed the heart of a la --dy
Charmed the heart of a la --dy
H ow old are you my pretty little miss
How old are you my ho ney?
S he answered to him with a lovin' smile
"I'll be sixteen come Su n--da y
Be sixteen come Su n--da y"
C ome and go with me my pretty little miss
Come and go with me my h oney
T ake you where the grass grows green
You never will want for m on--e y
You never will want for m on--e y
P ull off pull off them high-heeled shoes
All made of Spanish le ather
G et behind me on my horse
And we'll ride off t o--ge ther
We'll both go off to --get her
W ell she pulled off them high-heeled shoes
Made of Spanish Leathe r
G ot behind him on his horse
And they rode off to --ge ther
They both rode off t o--g ether
A t night the boss came home
Inquiring about his la dy
T he servant spoke before she thought
"She's been with Black Jack D a--v ey
Rode off with Black Jack D a--v ey"
W ell saddle for me my coal-black stud
He's speedier than the g ray
I rode all day and I'll ride all night
And I'll overtake my l a--d y
I'll bring back my l a--dy
W ell he rode all night till the broad daylight
Till he came to a river r agin'
A nd there he spied his darlin' bride
In the arms of Black Jack D a--v ey
Wrapped up with Black Jack D a--v ey
P ull off pull off them long blue gloves
All made of the finest l eather
G ive to me your lily-white hand
And we'll go home t o--ge ther
We'll both go home t o-ge ther
W ell she pulled off them long blue gloves
All made of the finest l eather
G ave to him her lily-white hand
And said goodbye fo r--ev er
Bid farewell fo r--eve r
W ould you forsake your house and home
Would you forsake your b aby?
W ould you forsake your husband too
To go with Black Jack D a--v ey
Ride off with Black Jack D a--v ey?
W ell I'll forsake my house and home
And I'll forsake my ba by
I 'll forsake my husband too
For the love of Black Jack D a--v ey
Love my Black Jack D a--v ey
L ast night I slept in a feather bed
Between my husband and b aby
T onight I lay on the river banks
In the arms of Black Jack D a--v ey
Love my Black Jack D a--v ey
