BLACK JACK DAVID
(Smith)
WARREN SMITH (SUN 250, 1956)
Black Jack David come around through the woods
Singing so loud and merry
His voice kept a-ringing through the green, green trees
He spied a fair-haired maiden
He spied a fair-haired maiden
Would you forsake your husband, dear
Would you forsake your baby
Would you forsake your fine, fine home
And go with a Black Jack David
Go with Black Jack David?
No dear Jack I can not go
Away and leave my baby
I can not forsake my husband and home
And go with you Black Jack David
Go with you Black Jack David
Listen dear lass, my name is Jack
I've come from afar
Looking for a fair-haired lass like you
Won't you come and be my bride
Come and be my bride
Yes, I'll forsake my husband, dear
And I'll forsake my baby
I'll forsake my fine, fine home
And go with you Black Jack David
Go with you Black Jack David
Last night she slept on a fine, feathered bed
Beside her husband and baby
Tonight she slept on the cold, cold ground
Beside old Black Jack David
Beside old Black Jack David

I love the ISB's version, which has a real Cajun flavor. I sing and play it on concertina. Thanksfor the recommendation hydfawr.

@magmcq Theres a great version of Black Jack Davy by The Incredible String Band on the 1970 album I looked Up,if you fancy checking it out? Good luck.

This song traveled all over the British Isles before coming to America. I heard a cowboy version on a New Mexico ranch a couple years back. It's a great song, and I like Warren's version a whole lot more than I expected to! Thanks for posting.
