Oh, Blackjack David is the [A] name that affair
I've been alone in the forest [E] a long time
[A] But the time is coming when the lady will find
I [D] will love her, and [A] hold her
Singing through the green, green trees
[D]
And the skin on my hands is [D] like the [A] leather I ride
And my face is hot [E] from the cold wind
[A] But my heart's so warm with [D] the song [A] that I sing
Oh, charm of fair ladies
Singing through the green, green trees
[D] [A]
Go find that lady

The fair Louise [D] stood up that [A] day
From her fine, fine [E] home in the morning
[A] In the flower she'd donned, come massage her hair
[D] Drifting and floating
Singing through the green, green trees [D] Blah, blah
[A]
Now fifteen [D] summers was all that [A] she'd seen
And her skin was [E] soft as a velvet
But she's forsaken [D] her [A] fine, fine home
[D] And Blackjack David is
Singing through the green, green trees
[D] [A]
Last night she [D] slept on a fine [A] feather bed
Far, far from [E] Blackjack David
But [A] tonight she'll sleep [D] on a cold, cold ground
And love him, [A] love him
Singing through the green, green trees
Oh, she will

Saddle me [D] up, my fine [A] grey mare
Cry the lord of the house [E] next morning
For [A] my servants tell [D] me that my daughter's
Gone with Blackjack [A] David
Singing through the green, green trees
[D] Go [A] find that daughter
A little day [D] and a road all night
But he never did [E] find his daughter
[A] But he heard from afar come drift on the [D] wind
Two voices [A] laughing
Singing through the green, green trees
[D] [A]
Oh, Blackjack [D] David is the name that affair
Been alone in the [E] far room a long time
[A] But now found that it's so fair
And I love her, and hope her
Singing through the green, green trees
