[Black Jack Daviid] "David" -- Sung by Mrs. Wayne (Claudia) Roberts (56), Hot Springs, N.C., September 28, 1950.
Jack Davy came riding through the woods,
Singing loud and m€erry,
"With green fields laying all around
I've charmed the heart of a lady,
I've charmed the heart of a lady."
"Will you forsake your house and home,
Will you forsake your baby?
Will you forsake your husband, too,
And go with Black Jack David,
And go with Black Jack David?"
"I will forsake my house and home,
And I will forsake my baby,
I will forsake my husband, too,
And go with Black Jack David,
And go with Black Jack David."
She then put off her low-heeled shoes,
All made of Spanish leather,
And then put on her high-heeled shoes
And they both rode off together,
And they both rode off together.
