Carter Family - Black Jack David Chords

     G
    Black Jack David came running through the woods,
                            C
    and he sang so loud and gaily,
      G
    made the hills around him ring,
                                          D
    and he charmed the heart of a lady,
                                             G
    and he charmed the heart of a lady.
 
           G
    How old are you, my pretty little miss,
                        C
    how old are you, my honey?
           G
    She answered him with a silly little smile,
                                D
    'I'll be sixteen next Sunday,
                              G
    I'll be sixteen next Sunday.'
 
             G
    Come go with me, my pretty little miss,
                         C
    come go with, me my honey!
        G
    I'll take you across the deep blue sea,
                                           D
    for you never shall want for money,
                                                G
    where you never shall want for money.

    She pulled off her high-heeled shoes,
                                            C
    they were made of Spanish leather.
      G
    She put on those  low-heeled shoes,
                             D
    and they both rode off together,
                            G
    and they both rode off together.
 
           G
    Last night I lay on a warm feather bed,
                          C
    beside my husband and baby.
       G
    Tonight I lay on the cold, cold ground,
                               D
    by the side of Black Jack David,
                              G
    by the side of Black Jack David.
