The White Stripes - Black Jack Davey lyrics

Black jack davey come running all night Whistling loud and merry he pray the bells around him ring, and shone the heart of a lady, Shone the heart of a lady How old are you my pretty little miss, how old are you my honey She answered him with a loving smile: I'll be sixteen on sunday Said I'll be sixteen on sunday Come and go with me my pretty little miss, come and go with me my honey I'll take you where the gra** grows green, and you never will want for money said you never will want for money HOI (guitars) Pull off pull off your long blue gloves made of spanish leather give to me your lilly-white hand, and we'll ride on together Said we'll both ride on together Well she pulled off her long blue gloves made of spanish leather And gave to him her lilly-white hand and bid farewell forever And they both rode off together Well late last night the boss came home, enquiring bout his lady The servant spoke: before she'd gone, she'd been with black jack davey Rode off with black jack davey Come on come on my coal black horse, your speedier than the grey We'll ride all day and ride all night and we'll overtake my lady I'll overtake my lady Well they rode all night till the broad daylight, when they came to a river raging...... (slower) And there he spied his darling bride, in the arms of black jack davey Wrapped up with black jack davey (guitars) Would you forsake your house and home, would you forsake your baby? would you forsake your husband too, to go with black jack davey Run off with blacck jack davey (sort of shouting) yes i'll forsake my house and home, yes i'll forsake my baby And i'll forsake my husband too, to go with black jack davey I'm in love with black jack davey Oooh (quietly) GUITARS Last night i slept on a feather bed, between my husband and baby And now I lay on the river bed, in the arms of black jack davey I'm in love with black jack davey..... END!
