Blackjack David came a-ridin� through the wood
Singin� so loud and merry
His voice was a-ringin� through the green, green fields
And he spied a fair-haired maiden
Spied a fair-haired maiden.

�Listen here lass my name is Jack
And I come from afar
Lookin� for a fair-haired lass like you
Won�t you come and be my bride
Come and be my bride?�

�Now would you forsake your husband, dear
Would you forsake your baby
Would you forsake your fine, fine home
To go with a Blackjack David
Go with Blackjack David?�

�Yes, I�d forsake my husband, dear
And I�d forsake my baby
And I�d forsake my fine, fine home
Just to go with you Blackjack David
Go with you Blackjack David.�

She put on her high-heeled boots
Made of Spanish leather
And he pulled her up behind him then
And they both rode off together
Both rode off together.

Well last night she slept in a fine, fine bed
Beside her husband and baby
Tonight she sleeps on a cold, cold ground
Beside old Blackjack David
Beside old Blackjack David
Beside old Blackjack David
Beside old Blackjack David.
