Traditional, Arranged by Dave Alvin
(Blue Horn Toad Music, BMI, Administered by Bug Music)

Blackjack David came a-ridin' through the wood
Singin' so loud and merry
His voice was a-ringin' through the green, green fields
And he spied a fair-haired maiden
Spied a fair-haired maiden.

"Listen here lass my name is Jack
And I come from afar
Lookin' for a fair-haired lass like you
Won't you come and be my bride
Come and be my bride?
