Si Kahn - Old Jack Davey lyrics
He come home from fighting in the army Grandma saw him on the day he came back Said hello to the people at the junction Then he walked down the road with his shoes around his neck. Chorus Has anybody here seen Old Jack Davey He never did nobody no harm Worked all his life tiLl they run him plum crazy Tryin' to make a living on a forty acre farm Tryin' to make a living on a forty acre farm He worked hard, kept to his business Come to town when his children were born Grandma heard how he'd really made somethin' Outta land that the people said wouldn't grow thorns Chorus They poisoned the well that he'd dug in the bottom Shot his mule by the gate at the bridge Caught Sally Ann in the woods by the river And burned down his house that he built on the ridge Chorus Old black man with a face like a walnut Running around town and acting the fool Telling all the kids how President Lincoln Gave him forty acres and a fine young mule.
