Blackjack David |
| Blackjack David came a-ridin' through the wood |
| Singin' so loud and merry |
| His voice was a-ringin' through the green, green fields |
| And he spied a fair-haired maiden |
| Spied a fair-haired maiden |
| «Listen here lass my name is Jack |
| And I come from afar |
| Lookin' for a fair-haired lass like you |
| Won’t you come and be my bride |
| Come and be my bride?» |
| «Now would you forsake your husband, dear |
| Would you forsake your baby |
| Would you forsake your fine, fine home |
| To go with a Blackjack David |
| Go with Blackjack David?» |
| «Yes, I’d forsake my husband, dear |
| And I’d forsake my baby |
| And I’d forsake my fine, fine home |
| Just to go with you Blackjack David |
| Go with you Blackjack David.» |
| She put on her high-heeled boots |
| Made of Spanish leather |
| And he pulled her up behind him then |
| And they both rode off together |
| Both rode off together |
| Well last night she slept in a fine, fine bed |
| Beside her husband and baby |
| Tonight she sleeps on a cold, cold ground |
| Beside old Blackjack David |
| Beside old Blackjack David |
| Beside old Blackjack David |
| Beside old Blackjack David |
