A ROGUE'S RETURN
Lyrics: Master Shakaar
Music: Alexander James Adams

He rides his steed in the dead of night
In search of a window with candle bright
Of a lady who signals to spend the night
With the rogue known as Black Jack Davy
He whisks her off on the back of his steed
She is thrilled by his power, strength & speed
Heart and soul she’d give if he'd fill her need
To be had by the Black Jack Davy

HE SINGS, “I’M BLACK JACK DAVY,
THE FASTEST ROGUE AROUND!
BUT I AM CURSED BY A RED-HAIRED GIRL
WHO WILL LAY ME IN THE COLD HARD GROUND!”
He smiles like a cat when his deed is done
She whispers to him, “You are bested by none!”
But night is shattered just before the sun
By the cry of the Black Jack’s Lady

“How’d she find me here?” hisses thru his teeth
As he quickly gets dressed and springs to his feet
Cause he knows that her sword can never be beat
It’s the blade of the Black Jack’s Lady

SHE CRIES, “OH BLACK JACK DAVY!
TURN THAT STEED AROUND!”
HE SAYS, “I WOULD BE CRAZY FOR YOU WOULD
LAY ME IN THE COLD HARD GROUND!”

He hides in a cave and sleeps thru the day
At nightfall then, he is up and away
The Ancient Ones will then hear him pray,
“Keep me safe from the Black Jack’s Lady!”

And he rides his steed in the dead of the night
In search of that window with candle bright
of another lady who will spend the night
With the rogue known as Black Jack Davy

“I’M BLACK JACK DAVY!
THE “BESTEST” ROGUE AROUND!
I SWEAR THAT RED-HAIRED GIRL WILL NOT CATCH ME
NOR LAY ME IN THE COLD HARD GROUND!”
