Black Jack David - Warren Smith
E|--------------------------------|
Recorded on the Sun Label

A pretty cool rockabilly song.



E
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
   B7
He spied a fair-haired maiden.


E
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
B7
Go with Black Jack David?

[Guitar Solo]
E E E E B7 E

E
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
B7
Go with you Black Jack David


E
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
B7
Come and be my bride

[Guitar Solo]
E E E E B7 E

E
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
E
Go with you Black Jack David

E
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
B7
Beside old Black Jack David.
