Version 1G 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.
