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 Davy
5
Go saddle to me the bonny brown steed
6
For the grey was never so speedy
7
I'll ride all day and I'll ride all night
8
'Til I catch that Black Jack Davy
9
[Chorus]
10
He rode up hills and he rode down dales
11
Over many a wild high mountain
12
And they did say that saw him go
13
Black Jack Davy he is hunting
14
He rode east and he rode west
15
All in the morning early
16
Until he spied his lady fair
17
Cold and wet and weary
18
Why did you leave your house and land
19
Why did you leave your baby
20
Why did you leave your own wedded lord
21
To go with the Black Jack Davy
22
[Chorus]
23
What care I for your goose feather bed
24
With the sheets turned down so bravely
25
Well I may sleep on the cold hard ground
26
Along with the Black Jack Davy
27
Then I'll kick off my high healed shoes
28
Made of the Spanish leather
29
And I'll put on my lowland brogues
30
And skip it o'er the heather
31
[Chorus]
