Black Jack David

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
 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 a Black Jack David
 Go with Black Jack David?
 No dear Jack I can not go
 Away and leave my baby
 I can not 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, feathered bed
 Beside her husband and baby
 Tonight she slept on the cold, cold ground
 Beside old Black Jack David
 Beside old Black Jack David
