Lyrics
they rode off together
He rode all night till the broad daylight, in the arms of black jack davey
A-whistlin loud and merry, she pulled off them high-heeled shoes, pull off them long blue gloves
i ll be sixteen come sunday
You never will want for money, would you forsake your house and home Black, take you where the grass grows green
i rode all day and i ll ride all night
black jack davey come a-riden on back
He rode all night till the broad daylight, the servant spoke before she thought, inquiring about this lady
Come and go with me, i rode all day and i ll ride all night
got behind him on his horse
Black jack davey come a-riden on back, i ll forsake my house and home, take you where the grass grows green
ride off with black jack davey.
All made of the finest leather, come and go with me
saddle for me my coal black stud
In the arms of black jack davey, in the arms of black jack davey, till he came to a river ragin
Come and go with me, and said good-bye forever, give to me your lily-white hand
he rode all night till the broad daylight
Would you forsake your baby, and said good-bye forever The, got behind him on his horse
to go with black jack davey
He s speedier than the gray, we ll both go off together., ride off with black jack davey.
They rode off together, my pretty little miss
between my husband and baby
Made of spanish leather, you never will want for money Jack, inquiring about this lady
Would you forsake your house and home, and said good-bye forever Jack, made the woods around him ring
My pretty little miss, last night i slept in a feather bed, i ll be sixteen come sunday
and there he spied his darlin bride
come and go with me
I ll be sixteen come sunday, pull off them high-heeled shoes
and i ll overtake my lady
i ll forsake my house and home
we ll both go home together.
And i ll overtake my lady, made the woods around him ring
She s been with black jack dave, and i ll overtake my lady, gave to him her lily-white hand
he rode all night till the broad daylight
Pull off them high-heeled shoes, would you forsake your baby, would you forsake your husband
Gave to him her lily-white hand, all made of the finest leather, be sixteen come sunday.
you never will want for money
Get behind me on my horse, the servant spoke before she thought
And there he spied his darlin bride, tonight i lay on the river banks
rode off with black jack davey?
and he charmed the heart of a lady
All made of the finest leather, the servant spoke before she thought, made of spanish leather
Between my husband and baby, tonight i lay on the river banks
How old are you, the servant spoke before she thought
last night i slept in a feather bed
How old are you, i ll forsake my husband
you never will want for money
gave to him her lily-white hand
Ride off with black jack davey., tonight i lay on the river banks
My pretty little miss, he rode all night till the broad daylight, i ll forsake my house and home
I rode all day and i ll ride all night, would you forsake your husband

My pretty little miss, the servant spoke before she thought Stripes, gave to him her lily-white hand
