  22 <p>Trad. /arr. Bob Dylan<br />
  23 Released on <a class="recordlink" href="index.htm">Good As I Been To You</a> (1992) and played live
  24 occasionally in 1993<br />
  25 Tabbed by Eyolf &Oslash;strem</p>
  26
  27 <p>Let the 2nd string sound during the Gm strumming &ndash; that's what creates
  28 that delightful clash between the Bb of the melody and the B of the
  29 strumming.</p>
  30
  31 <p>And, of course, there are plenty of variations from one verse to another.</p>

  33 <p>Capo 4th fret (sounding key B minor)</p>

  70 Gm
  71 Black Jack Davey come a-riden' on back,

  73 A-whistlin' loud and merry.
  74 Gm
  75 Made the woods around him ring,

  78 Gm
  79 Charmed the heart of a lady.
  80
  81 &quot;How old are you, my pretty little miss,
  82 How old are you, my honey&quot;
  83 She answered to him with a lovin' smile
  84 &quot;I'll be sixteen come Sunday,
  85 Be sixteen come Sunday.&quot;
  86
  87 &quot;Come and go with me, my pretty little miss,
  88 Come and go with me, my honey,
  89 Take you where the grass grows green
  90 You never will want for money
  91 You never will want for money

  93 &quot;Pull off, pull off them high-heeled shoes
  94 All made of Spanish leather.
  95 Get behind me on my horse
  96 And we'll ride off together,
  97 We'll both go off together.&quot;
  98
  99 Well, she pulled off them high-heeled shoes
 100 Made of Spanish leather.
 101 Got behind him on his horse
 102 And they rode off together.
 103 They rode off together.
 104
 105 At night the boss came home
 106 Inquiring about this lady.
 107 The servant spoke before she thought,
 108 &quot;She's been with Black Jack Dave,
 109 Rode off with Black Jack Davey.&quot;
 110
 111 &quot;Well, saddle for me my coal black stud,
 112 He's speedier than the gray.
 113 I rode all day and I'll ride all night,
 114 And I'll overtake my lady.
 115 I'll bring back my lady.&quot;
 116
 117 Well, he rode all night till the broad daylight,
 118 Till he came to a river ragin',
 119 And there he spied his darlin' bride
 120 In the arms of Black Jack Davey.
 121 Wrapped up with Black Jack Davey.
 122
 123 &quot;Pull off, pull off them long blue gloves
 124 All made of the finest leather.
 125 Give to me your lily-white hand
 126 And we'll both go home together.
 127 We'll both go home together.&quot;
 128
 129 Well, she pulled off them long blue gloves
 130 All made of the finest leather.
 131 Gave to him her lily-white hand
 132 And said good-bye forever.
 133 Bid farewell forever.
 134
 135 &quot;Would you forsake your house and home,
 136 Would you forsake your baby?
 137 Would you forsake your husband, too,
 138 To go with Black Jack Davey.
 139 Ride off with Black Jack Davey?&quot;
 140
 141 &quot;Well, I'll forsake my house and home,
 142 And I'll forsake my baby.
 143 I'll forsake my husband, too,
 144 For the love of Black Jack Davey.
 145 Ride off with Black Jack Davey.&quot;
 146
 147 &quot;Last night I slept in a feather bed
 148 Between my husband and baby.
 149 Tonight I lay on the river banks
 150 In the arms of Black Jack Davey,
 151 Love my Black Jack Davey.&quot;
