     G
    Black Jack David came running through the woods,

                            C
    and he sang so loud and gaily,

      G
    made the hills around him ring,

                                  D
    and he charmed the heart of a lady,

                                  G
    and he charmed the heart of a lady.

           G
    How old are you, my pretty little miss,

                        C
    how old are you, my honey?

           G
    She answered him with a silly little smile,

                                D
    'I'll be sixteen next Sunday,

                              G
    I'll be sixteen next Sunday.'

             G
    Come go with me, my pretty little miss,

                         C
    come go with, me my honey!

        G
    I'll take you across the deep blue sea,

                                  D
    for you never shall want for money,

                                  G
    where you never shall want for money.

      G
    She pulled off her high-heeled shoes,

                               C
    they were made of Spanish leather.

      G
    She put on those  low-heeled shoes,

                             D
    and they both rode off together,

                            G
    and they both rode off together.

           G
    Last night I lay on a warm feather bed,

                          C
    beside my husband and baby.

       G
    Tonight I lay on the cold, cold ground,

                               D
    by the side of Black Jack David,

                              G
    by the side of Black Jack David.
