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.
