1
Late last night when the squire came home
2
Inquiring for his lady
3
Some denied and some replied
4
She's gone with the Black Jack Davey
5
Go saddle to me the bonny brown steed
6
For the gray was never so speedy
7
I'll ride all day and I'll ride all night
8
Till I catch that Black Jack Davey
9
Oh, he rode up hills and he rode down dales
10
Over many a wild high mountain
11
And they did say that saw him go
12
Black Jack Davey, he is hunting
13
He rode east and he rode west
14
All in the morning early
15
Their he spied his lady fair
16
Cold and wet and weary
17
Oh, why did you leave your house and land
18
Why did you leave your baby
19
Why did you leave your own wedded lord
20
To go with the Black Jack Davey
21
Oh, he rode up hills and he rode down dales
22
Over many a wild high mountain
23
And they did say that saw him go
24
Black Jack Davey, he is hunting
25
What cared I for your goose feather bed
26
The sheets turned down so bravely
27
Well, I may sleep on the cold hard ground
28
Along with the Black Jack Davey
29
Then I'll kick off my high healed shoes
30
Made of Spanish leather
31
And I'll put on my lowland brogues
32
And skip it o'er the heather
33
Oh, he rode up hills and he rode down dales
34
Over many a wild high mountain
35
And they did say that saw him go
36
Black Jack Davey, he is hunting
37
Oh, he rode up hills and he rode down dales
38
Over many a wild high mountain
39
And they did say that saw him go
40
Black Jack Davey, he is hunting
