Black Jack David

Black Jack David
Came running through the woods
Singing so loud and gaily

He made the hills around him ring
And charmed the heart of a lady
And charmed the heart of a lady

The stopped before
They reached each other
Barely able to breathe

Where you going to
My brother?
Won't you please take me?
Won't you please take me?

Come go with me
My pretty little Miss
Come go with me
My honey

I'll take you across
The deep blue sea
Where you never shall want
For money
Where you never shall want
For money

She pulled off her high heeled shoes
Made of spanish leather
She put on her low heeled shoes
And they both went off together
And they both went off together

Last night I lay
On a warm feather bed
Beside my husband and baby
But tonight I lay
On the cold cold ground
By the side of my Black Jack David
By the side of my Black Jack David
In the arms of my Black Jack David
By the side of my Black Jack David
