Late last night when the squire come home
C F G
Enquiring for his lady
F
Some denied and some replied
C F G
She's gone with the Black Jack Davy
[Verse]
F
"Go saddle to me the bonny brown steed
C F G
For the grey was never so speedy
F
I'll ride all day and I'll ride all night
C F G
Till I catch that Black Jack Davy"
[Chorus]
D Am
Oh, he rode up hills and he rode down dales
G C G
Over many a wild high mountain
D Am
And they did say, that saw him go
G Bb F Am Em D C Bb A D G
Black Jack Davy, he is hunting
[Verse]
F
He rode east and he rode west
C F G
All in the morning early
F
Until he spied his lady fair
C F G
Cold and wet and weary
[Verse]

"Why did you leave your house and land?
C F G
Why did you leave your baby?
F
Why did you leave your own wedded lord
C F G
To go with the Black Jack Davy?"

"What care I for your goose feather bed
C F G
Your sheets turned down so bravely
F
Well, I may sleep on the cold hard ground
C F G
Along with the Black Jack Davy"

"Then I'll kick off my high healed shoes
C F G
Made of the Spanish leather
F
And I'll put on my lowland brogues
C F G
And skip it o'er the heather"
