Above is a link to: Country By Nick Tosches. Great chapter on the song with history. Cliff Carlisle recorded "Black Jack David" (Decca 5732, 1939). He got it from T. Texas Tyler AKA David Myrick when they did radio work together.
Blackjack David came a-ridin' through the wood Singin' so loud and merry His voice was a-ringin' through the green, green fields He charmed the heart of a maiden, Charmed the heart of a maiden.
Come go with me my pretty little miss Come go with me my honey Come go with me my pretty little miss You never shall want for money Never shall want for money
How old are you my pretty little miss How old are you my honey How old are you my pretty little miss I'll be sixteen next Sunday I'll be sixteen next Sunday
Would you forsake your husband, dear Would you forsake your baby? Would you forsake your fine, fine home To go with the Blackjack David Go with Blackjack David?"
"Yes, I'll forsaken my husband, dear And I'll forsaken my baby And I'd forsake my fine, fine home To go with the Blackjack David Go with the Blackjack David."
She put on her high-heeled boots Made of Spanish leather And then he took her in his arms And they both rode off together Both rode off together.
Last night she slept in a fine feather bed Beside her husband and baby Tonight she'll sleeps on a cold, cold ground Beside the Blackjack David Beside the Blackjack David
