Blackjack Davey |
| Blackjack Davey come a-ridin' by |
| Singin' so sweet and gaily |
| Made the green woods around him ring |
| To charm the heart of a lady |
| To charm the heart of a lady |
| How old are you my pretty little miss |
| How old are you my honey |
| If I don’t die from the morn above |
| I’ll be sixteen next Sunday |
| I’ll be sixteen next Sunday |
| For I forsake my house and land |
| And I forsake my baby |
| And I forsake my new wed lord |
| To stay with the Blackjack Davey |
| To stay with the Blackjack Davey |
| She pulled off her high heel shoes |
| They were made of Spanish leather |
| She pulled on her low heel shoes |
| And they both rode off together |
| They both rode off together |
| Last night I slept in a warm feather bed |
| Between my husband and baby |
| Tonight I lay on the cold cold ground |
| Beside that Blackjack Davey |
| Beside that Blackjack Davey |
