Black jack david Lyrics

Black Jack David is the name that I bear
Been alone in the forest for a long time
But now I'll find me a lady so fair
And I'll love her ... hold her
Singing through the green green trees

The skin on my hands is like a leathery hide
And my face is hard from the cold wind
But my heart's so warm with the song that I sing
It'll charm a fair lady
Singing though the green green trees

Well fair Eloise rose up next day
From her fine fine house in the morning
A flash of dawn sent a song drifting by
Drifting ... floating
Singing through the green green trees

Well, fifteen summers was all that she'd seen
And her skin was fine as velvet
But she's forsaken her fine feather bed
For Black Jack David
Singing through the green green trees

Last night she slept on a fine feather bed
Far from Black Jack David
But tonight she'll sleep on the cold cold ground
And she'll love him, hold him
Singing through the green green trees

Oh saddle me up my fine grey mare
Cried the lord of the manor next morning
For my servants tell me my daughter has gone
With Black Jack David
Singing through the green green trees

Now he rode all day and he rode all night
But he never did find his daughter
But he heard far away from a far country
Two voices laughing
Singing through the green green trees.

Well, Black Jack David is the name that I bear
Been alone in the forest for a long time
But now I've found me a lady so fair
And I'll love her, hold her
Singing through the green green trees.
