Bob Dylan - Black Jack Davey
Verse 1:
Am
Black Jack Davey come ridin' on back
                     Em
A whistlin' loud and merry
Am
Made the woods around him ring
                               G  D
And he charmed the heart of a la--dy
                        G   Am
Charmed the heart of a la--dy
Verse 2:
Am
How old are you, my pretty little miss
                     Em
How old are you, my honey?
Am
She answered to him with a lovin' smile
                       G    D
"I'll be sixteen come Sun--day
                 G    Am
Be sixteen come Sun--day"
Verse 3:
Am
Come and go with me, my pretty little miss
                        Em
Come and go with me, my honey
Am
Take you where the grass grows green
                        G    D
You never will want for mon--ey
                        G    Am
You never will want for mon--ey

Am
Pull off, pull off them high-heeled shoes
                     Em
All made of Spanish leather
Am
Get behind me on my horse

And they rode off to--gether
                   G   Am
They both rode off to--gether
Verse 6:
Am
At night the boss came home
                     Em
Inquiring about his lady

The servant spoke before she thought

Rode off with Black Jack Da--vey"
Verse 7:
Am
Well, saddle for me my coal-black stud
                       Em
He's speedier than the gray
Am
I rode all day and I'll ride all night
                     G   D
And I'll overtake my la--dy
                   G    Am
I'll bring back my la--dy
Verse 8:
Am
Well, he rode all night till the broad daylight
                        Em
Till he came to a river ragin'
Am
And there he spied his darlin' bride
                          G   D
In the arms of Black Jack Da--vey

Wrapped up with Black Jack Da--vey

Pull off, pull off them long blue gloves
                       Em
All made of the finest leather

Give to me your lily-white hand
                  G    D
And we'll go home to--gether

We'll both go home to-gether

And said goodbye for--ever
              G     Am
Bid farewell for--ever

Would you forsake your house and home
                       Em
Would you forsake your baby?

Would you forsake your husband too

Ride off with Black Jack Da--vey?
