1. Black Jack Davey come a-riden' on back,A-whistlin' loud and merry.Made the woods around him ring,And he charmed the heart of a lady,Charmed the heart of a lady.2. "How old are you, my pretty little miss,How old are you, my honey"She answered to him with a lovin' smile"I'll be sixteen come Sunday,Be sixteen come Sunday."3. "Come and go with me, my pretty little miss,Come and go with me, my honey,Take you where the grass grows green,You never will want for moneyYou never will want for money4. "Pull off, pull off them high-heeled shoesAll made of Spanish leather.Get behind me on my horseAnd we'll ride off together,We'll both go off together."5. Well, she pulled off them high-heeled shoesMade of Spanish leather.Got behind him on his horseAnd they rode off together.They rode off together.6. At night the boss came homeInquiring about this lady.The servant spoke before she thought,"She's been with Black Jack Dave,Rode off with Black Jack Davey."7. "Well, saddle for me my coal black stud,He's speedier than the gray.I rode all day and I'll ride all night,And I'll overtake my lady.I'll bring back my lady."8. Well, he rode all night till the broad daylight,Till he came to a river ragin',And there he spied his darlin' brideIn the arms of Black Jack Davey.Wrapped up with Black Jack Davey.9. "Pull off, pull off them long blue glovesAll made of the finest leather.Give to me your lily-white handAnd we'll both go home together.We'll both go home together."10. Well, she pulled off them long blue glovesAll made of the finest leather.Gave to him her lily-white handAnd said good-bye forever.Bid farewell forever.11. "Would you forsake your house and home,Would you forsake your baby?Would you forsake your husband, too,To go with Black Jack Davey.Rode off with Black Jack Davey?"12. "Well, I'll forsake my house and home,And I'll forsake my baby.I'll forsake my husband, too,For the love of Black Jack Davey.Ride off with Black Jack Davey."13. "Last night I slept in a feather bedBetween my husband and baby.Tonight I lay on the river banksIn the arms of Black Jack Davey,Love my Black Jack Davey."
