Late last night when the squire came home |
|
Inquiring for his lady |
|
Some denied and some replied |
|
She's gone with the |
|
Black Jack |
|
DaveyGo saddle to me the bonny brown steed |
|
For the gray was never so speedy |
|
I'll ride all day and |
|
I'll ride all night |
|
Till I catch that |
|
Black Jack |
|
DaveyOh, he rode up hills and he rode down dales |
|
Over many a wild high mountain |
|
And they did say that saw him go |
|
Black Jack |
|
Davey, he is hunting |
|
He rode east and he rode west |
|
All in the morning early |
|
Their he spied his lady fair |
|
Cold and wet and weary |
|
Oh, why did you leave your house and land |
|
Why did you leave your baby |
|
Why did you leave your own wedded lord |
|
To go with the |
|
Black Jack |
|
DaveyOh, he rode up hills and he rode down dales |
|
Over many a wild high mountain |
|
And they did say that saw him go |
|
Black Jack |
|
Davey, he is hunting |
|
What cared |
|
I for your goose feather bed |
|
The sheets turned down so bravely |
|
Well, I may sleep on the cold hard ground |
|
Along with the |
|
Black Jack |
|
DaveyThen |
|
I'll kick off my high healed shoes |
|
Made of Spanish leather |
|
And I'll put on my lowland brogues |
|
And skip it o'er the heather |
|
Oh, he rode up hills and he rode down dales |
|
Over many a wild high mountain |
|
And they did say that saw him go |
|
Black Jack |
|
Davey, he is hunting |
|
Oh, he rode up hills and he rode down dales |
|
Over many a wild high mountain |
|
And they did say that saw him go |
