作词：Jack White

作曲：Jack White

Black Davey come running on back

Whistlen' loud and merry

Made the woods round him ring

And he charmed the heart of a lady

Charmed the heart of a lady

How old are you my pretty little miss

How old are you my honey

She answered with a loving smile

I'll be sixteen come sunday

Said ill be sixteen come sunday

Come and go with me my pretty little miss

Come and go with me my honey

I'll take you where the grass grows green

You never will want for money

Said You never will want for money

Pull off pull off your long blue gloves

Made of Spanish leather

Give to me your lily-white hand

And we'll ride off together

Said We'll ride off together

Well she pulled off her long blue gloves

Made of Spanish leather

And gave to him her lily-white hand

And bid fairwell forever

And they both rode off together

Well late last night the boss came home

Inquiring about his lady

The servant spoke before she thought

She been with Black Jack Davey

Rode off with Black Jack Davey

Come on come on my coal-black horse

You're speedier than the gray

I'll ride all day and I'll ride all night

And I'll overtake my lady

Yeah I'll overtake my lady

Well he rode all night 'til the broad daylight

'Til he came to a river ragin'

And there he spied his darlin' bride

In the arms of Black Jack Davey

Wrapped up with Black Jack Davey

Would you forsake your house and home

Would you forsake your baby

Would you forsake your husband too

To go with Black Jack Davey

Run off with Black Jack Davey

Yes I'd forsake my house and home

And I'd forsake my baby

And I'd forsake my husband too

To go with Black Jack Davey

I'm in love with Black Jack Davey

Last night I slept on a feather bed

Between my husband and baby

And tonight I lay on the river banks

In the arms of Black Jack Davey

I'm in love with Black Jack Davey
