C               G  
Black Jack Davey, he’s a-walkin’  
C                     G  
With a girl by his side,  
C                   G  
He’s a-walkin’ on the road to the river,  
C                 G  
With a girl he’s never tried.  

F                    C  
Oh, the moon is shining bright,  
G                  C  
On the path that they ride,  
F                  C  
And the stars are all a-twinkling,  
G                   C  
As they wander side by side.  

C                G  
Black Jack Davey, he’s a-roaming,  
C                 G  
With a heart so wild and free,  
C                 G  
He’ll love her till the break of morning,  
C                G  
And then he’ll let her be.  

F                  C  
Oh, the night is long and lonely,  
G                  C  
And the wind begins to moan,  
F                 C  
But Black Jack Davey, he’s a-walking,  
G                    C  
With a girl who’s all his own.
