Blackjack Davey Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Black Jack Damon come a -ridin' by,
singin' so sweet and [G]gaily
Made the [A]green woods [D]around him ring
to charm the [A]heart of a lady,
to charm the heart [D]of a lady
How old are you, my
pretty little miss?
How old are you, my honey?
[G]If I don[D]'t die from the morn of lov[A]e,
I'll [D]be six[A]teen next Sunday,
I'll be sixteen next [D]Sunday.
Well, I'd forsake my house and land,
and I'd forsake my [G]baby,
And [D]I'd forsake my new wedlord
to stay with the [A]blackjack Davy,
To stay with the blackjack Dav[D]y.
She pulled off her high -heeled shoes,
they were made of Spanish leather,
[G]She pul[D]led on her low -heeled shoes,
and they both rode off to[A]gether,
They both rode off together.
[D]Last night I slept on
the warmth of the bed
between my husband [G]and baby.
To[D]night I lay on the cold, ground
beside that [A]blackjack baby,
Beside that blackjack [D]baby.
You
