Black Jack David

Black Jack David come around through the woods

Singing so loud and merry

His voice kept a-ringing through the green green trees

He spied a fair-haired maiden

He spied a fair-haired maiden

Would you forsake your husband dear

Would you forsake your baby

Would you forsake your fine fine home

And go with a Black Jack David

Go with Black Jack David

No dear Jack I can not go

Away and leave my baby

I can not forsake my husband and home

And go with you Black Jack David

Go with you Black Jack David

Listen dear lass my name is Jack

I've come from afar

Looking for a fair-haired lass like you

Won't you come and be my bride

Come and be my bride

Yes I'll forsake my husband dear

And I'll forsake my baby

I'll forsake my fine fine home

And go with you Black Jack David

Go with you Black Jack David

Last night she slept on a fine feathered bed

Beside her husband and baby

Tonight she slept on the cold cold ground

Beside old Black Jack David

Beside old Black Jack David
