Late last night when the squire come home

She's gone with the Black Jack Davy

"Go saddle to me the bonny brown steed

        C        F            G
For the grey was never so speedy

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

       C          F            G
Till I catch that Black Jack Davy"

He rode east and he rode west

    C      F          G
All in the morning early

Cold and wet and weary

Why did you leave your own wedded lord

Your sheets turned down so bravely

Well, I may sleep on the cold hard ground

Along with the Black Jack Davy"

And skip it o'er the heather"
