i Black Jack Davy come a~ridin' through the woods. Singing songs so gayly, Sang so loud he made the wild woods ring, Charmed the hearts of a lady, Charmed the hearts of a wife.
2 The old man came in that night, Inquiring for his lady,
Said, "Where is my wife?" The servant spoke before he thought, "She's gone with the Black Jack Davy, She's gone with the Black Jack boy."
3 "Go saddle me up my milk-white horse, Saddle him slow and easy,
I'll ride all night till the broad daylight And overtake my lady, And overtake my wife."
4 He rode all day and he rode all night, Till he came to the edge of the water $ There he looked on the other side, There he spied his darling,
There he spied his wife.
5 "Will you forsake your house and home? Will you forsake your baby?
Will you forsake the one you love To roam with the Black Jack Davy? To roam with the Black Jack boy?"
6 "Yes, I'll forsake my house and home; Yes, I'll forsake my baby.
And I'll forsake the one I love To roam with the Black Jack Davy, To roam with the Black Jack boy." |
