Black Jack David

Carter Family

(G) Black Jack David came riding through the woods
And he sang so loud and gai-(C)-ly
(G) Made the hills around him ring
And he charmed the heart of a (D) lady
And he charmed the heart of a la-(G)-dy

(G) "How old are you my pretty little miss
How old are you my hon-(C)-ey?"
She (G) answered him with a silly little smile
"I'll be sixteen next (D) Sunday"
"I'll be sixteen next Sun-(G)-day"

(G) "Come go with me my pretty little miss
Come go with me my hon-(C)-ey
I'll (G) take you across the deep blue sea
Where you never shall want for (D) money
Where you never shall want for mon-(G)-ey

(G) She pulled off her high-heeled shoes
They were made of Spanish lea-(C)-ther
(G) She put on those low-heeled shoes
And they both rode off to-(D)-gether
And they both rode off togeth-(G)-er.

(G) "Last night I lay on a warm feather bed
Beside my husband and ba-(C)-by
To-(G)-night I lay on the cold, cold ground
By the side of Black Jack (D) David
By the side of Black Jack Da-(G)-vid."
