Dave Alvin - Blackjack David guitar chord

BLACKJACK DAVID

Traditional / Dave Alvin - Bb

G

Blackjack David came a-ridin through the woods

Singin so loud and merry

Voice was ringin through the green, green fields

Em G

When he spied a fair-haired maiden

Am7 G

Spied a fair-haired maiden

Listen here lass, my name is Jack

And I come from afar

Lookin for a fair-haired lass like you

To come to be my bride, come to be my bride

Now, would you forsake your husband, dear

Would you forsake your baby

Would you forsake your fine, fine home

To go with the Blackjack David, go with Blackjack David

Yes, Id forsake my husband, dear, Id forsake my baby

Id forsake my fine, fine home, to go with you Blackjack David

To go with you Blackjack David

She put on her high-heel boots, made of Spanish leather

He pulled her behind him then, they both rode off together, both rode off together

Well, last night she slept in a fine, fine bed, beside her husband and baby

Tonight, she sleeps on the cold, cold ground, beside her Blackjack David

Beside her Blackjack David

Beside her Blackjack David, beside her Blackjack David
