Black Jack Davy- Sung by Mary Jo Davis; Fayetteville, AR in 1955; Recorded by Mary Parker, released on Smithsonian Folkways FW04530_202 in 1958.
Black Jack Davy came a-ridin' through the woods
Singing his song so gaily
Sang so loud he made the wild woods ring
And he charmed the heart of a lady
Charmed the heart of a lady.
"He said pretty miss will you go with me
Will you be my honey?
I swear by the sword that hangs by my side,
You'll never want for money,
Never want for money."
