unholy modal rounders - black jack davy lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
ladies and gentlemen, the bottom line is proud to present the unholy modal rounders

[verse 1]
black jack davy is the name i bear
been alone in the forest for a long time
i’m looking for a lady fair
i’ll hold her, love her
singing through the green, green trees

[verse 2]
skin on my hands like a leather glove
face is hard from the cold wind
my heart so warm, a song that i sing
would charm a fair lady
singing through the green, green trees

[verse 3]
fair eloise rolled up that day
from a fine good hunt in the morning
in the drift of the dawn came a sound to her ear
drifting, floating
singing through the green, green trees

[verse 4]
“gather up my fine gray mare”
said the lord of the house in the morning
“my servants swear my daughter’s gone
with black jack davy”
singing through the green, green trees
[verse 5]
sixteen stars is all she got
skin is soft like velvet
but she forsake her fine good home
for black jack davy
singing through the green, green trees

[verse 6]
last night, she slept in a fine feather bed
far from black jack davy
tonight, she sleep on a cold ground
hold him, love him
singing through the green, green trees

[verse 7]
“gather up my fine gray mare”
said the lord of the house in the morning
“my servants swear my daughter’s gone
with black jack davy”
singing through the green, green trees

[verse 8]
he rode all day and he rode all night
and never did find his daughter
they heard from afar ridden on wind
two voices laughing
singing through the green, green trees
[verse 9]
oh, black jack davy is the name i bear
been alone in the forest for a long time
now i got me a lady fair
i’ll hold her, love her
singing through the green, green trees
