Black Jack David - Warren Smith
E|--------------------------------

E|| 

Recorded on the Sun Label

A pretty cool rockabilly song.

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
   B7
He spied a fair-haired maiden.


E
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

No dear Jack I can not go

Away and leave my baby

home

And 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

And 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
