Dave Alvin - Blackjack David lyrics
Traditional, Arranged by Dave Alvin (Blue Horn Toad Music, BMI, Administered by Bug Music) Blackjack David came a-ridin' through the wood Singin' so loud and merry His voice was a-ringin' through the green, green fields And he spied a fair-haired maiden Spied a fair-haired maiden. “Listen here lass my name is Jack And I come from afar Lookin' for a fair-haired lass like you Won't you come and be my bride Come and be my bride?? “Now would you forsake your husband, dear Would you forsake your baby Would you forsake your fine, fine home To go with a Blackjack David Go with Blackjack David?? “Yes, I'd forsake my husband, dear And I'd forsake my baby And I'd forsake my fine, fine home Just to go with you Blackjack David Go with you Blackjack David.? She put on her high-heeled boots Made of Spanish leather And he pulled her up behind him then And they both rode off together Both rode off together. Well last night she slept in a fine, fine bed Beside her husband and baby Tonight she sleeps on a cold, cold ground Beside old Blackjack David Beside old Blackjack David Beside old Blackjack David Beside old Blackjack David. |
