Lyrics

Black Jack David came riding through the woods And he sang so loud and gaily Made the hills around him ring And he charmed the heart of a lady. [2x] "How old are you my pretty little miss How old are you my honey?" She answered him with a silly little smile "I'll be sixteen next Sunday". [2x] "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." [2x] She pulled off her high-heeled shoes They were made of Spanish leather She put on those low-heeled shoes And they both rode off together. [2x] "Last night I lay on a warm feather bed Beside my husband and baby Tonight I lay on the cold, cold ground By the side of Black Jack David." [2x]
