Black Jack David Songtext
von Warren Smith

Black Jack David come around through the woods
Singing so loud and merry
His voice kept 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 Black Jack David?
Go with Black Jack David


No, dear Jack, I cannot go
Away and leave my baby
I cannot 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 feather bed
Beside her husband and baby
Tonight she slept on the cold, cold ground
Beside old Black Jack David
Beside old Black Jack David
