The Incredible String Band - Black jack davey lyrics

Black Jack David is the name that I bear been alone in The forest for a long time But the time is coming when A lady I'll find I will love her Hold her singing through The green green trees And the skin on my hands is like the leather I ride And my face is hard from the cold wind But my heart so warm with The song that I sing Charm a fair lady Singing through the green green trees Fair Eloise rode out that day From her fine fine home in the morning In the flush of the dawn came a sound to her ear Drifting and floating Singing through the green green trees Now fifteen summers was All that she'd seen And her skin was as soft as the velvet But she's forsaken her fine fine home And Black Jack David is Singing through the green green trees Last night she slept on a fine feather bed Far far from Black jack David But tonight she will sleep on the cold cold ground And love him and hold him Singing through the green green trees Saddle me up my fine gray mare Cried the lord of the house next morning For the servants tell me My daughter's gone With Black Jack David Singing through the green green trees And he rode all day and he rode all night But he never did find his daughter But he heard from afar Come adrift on the wind Two voices laughing Singing through the green green trees Oh Black Jack David is The name that I bear Been alone in the forest for a long time But now I have found me a lady so fair I will love her and hold her Singing through the green green trees
