Lyrics

[00:16.71] Black Jack Davey came ridin' through the woods
[00:19.07] He was singin' so loud and gaily
[00:24.01] Made the hills around him ring
[00:26.20] Charmed the heart of a lady
[00:28.74] Charmed the heart of a lady
[00:49.63] "How old are you, my pretty little miss
[00:52.18] How old are you, my honey?"
[00:56.68] She answered him with a silly little smile
[00:59.34] "Be sixteen next Sunday
[01:01.95] Be sixteen next Sunday"
[01:21.89] "Come, go with me, my pretty little miss
[01:24.60] Come, go with me, my honey
[01:29.12] Take you across the dark dark sea
[01:31.57] Never shall want for money
[01:34.19] Never shall want for money"
[01:38.85] She took off her high-heeled boots
[01:40.94] They were made of Spanish leather
[01:45.82] She put on her low-heeled shoes
[01:48.12] They both rode off together
[01:50.53] Both rode off together
[02:10.70] Last night I slept on a warm featherbed
[02:13.26] Beside my husband and baby
[02:17.66] Tonight I sleep on the cold cold ground
[02:20.17] Beside the Black Jack Davey
[02:22.78] Pretty little Black Jack Davey
[02:43.87] Black Jack Davey came ridin' through the woods
[02:46.17] He was singin' so loud and gaily
[02:50.77] Made the hills around him ring
[02:53.22] Charmed the heart of a lady
[02:55.80] Charmed the heart of a lady
