Black jack davey come running all night

Whistling loud and merry

he pray the bells around him ring, and shone the heart of a lady,

Shone the heart of a lady



How old are you my pretty little miss, how old are you my honey

She answered him with a loving smile: I'll be sixteen on sunday

Said I'll be sixteen on sunday



Come and go with me my pretty little miss, come and go with me my honey

I'll take you where the grass grows green, and you never will want for money

said you never will want for money



HOI

Pull off pull off your long blue gloves made of spanish leather

give to me your lilly-white hand, and we'll ride on together

Said we'll both ride on together



Well she pulled off her long blue gloves made of spanish leather

And gave to him her lilly-white hand and bid farewell forever

And they both rode off together



Well late last night the boss came home, enquiring bout his lady

The servant spoke: before she'd gone, she'd been with black jack davey

Rode off with black jack davey



Come on come on my coal black horse, your speedier than the grey

We'll ride all day and ride all night and we'll overtake my lady

I'll overtake my lady



Well they rode all night till the broad daylight, when they came to a river raging......

(slower) And there he spied his darling bride, in the arms of black jack davey

Wrapped up with black jack davey



(guitars)



Would you forsake your house and home, would you forsake your baby?

would you forsake your husband too, to go with black jack davey

Run off with blacck jack davey



(sort of shouting) yes i'll forsake my house and home, yes i'll forsake my baby

And i'll forsake my husband too, to go with black jack davey

I'm in love with black jack davey



Oooh (quietly)

GUITARS



Last night i slept on a feather bed, between my husband and baby

And now I lay on the river bed, in the arms of black jack davey

I'm in love with black jack davey.....



END!
