Black Jack David    (video)

1. Black Jack David came running through the woods,

C

and he sang so loud and gaily,

G

made the hills around him ring,

D

and he charmed the heart of a lady,

G

and he charmed the heart of a lady.

2. How old are you, my pretty little miss,

C

how old are you, my honey ?

G

She answered him with a silly little smile,

D

”I'll be sixteen next Sunday,

G 

I'll be sixteen next Sunday.”

G

3. Come go with me, my pretty little miss,

C

come go with, me my honey !

G

I'll take you across the deep blue sea,

D

for you never shall want for money,

G

where you never shall want for money.

4. She pulled off her high-heeled shoes,

C

they were made of Spanish leather.

G

She put on those low-heeled shoes,

D

and they both rode off together,

G

and they both rode off together.

G

5. Last night I lay on a warm feather bed,

C

beside my husband and baby.

G

Tonight I lay on the cold, cold ground,

D

by the side of Black Jack David,

G

by the side of Black Jack David.
