A cold February A shotgun, a worry A line to his neck If you want to inspect Indianapolis 77 There's a look in his eye As I hear a cry The reporters surround me In Marion County Indianapolis 77 The world don't give a damn For the forsaken man Who held all that power For 63 hours Indianapolis 77 A cold February But he ain't in no hurry It's Richard O. Halls It's balls to the walls Indianapolis 77 The world don't give a damn For the forsaken man Who held all that power For 63 hours Indianapolis 77

Black Jack Davey come a running through the woods Singing so loud and gaily Made the hills a round him ring Then charmed the heart of a lady, charmed the heart of a lady How old are you my pretty little miss How old are you my honey Answered him with a silly and a smile I’ll be sixteen next Sunday, be sixteen next Sunday Come go with me my pretty little miss Come go with me my honey I’ll take you across the deep blue sea Where you never shall want for money, never shall want for money She pulled off her high heeled shoes Made of Spanish leather She put on her low heeled shoes And they both went off together, both went off together Last night I lay on a warm feather bed Side my husband and baby Today I lay on the cold, cold ground Side of Black Jack Davey, side of Black Jack Davey

about

Murphy's Shambles Frederick, Maryland

MURPHY'S SHAMBLES is the collaborative, cohesive co-mingling of the grit of Americana folk songs sung by railroad laborers with the laments of lost Irish soldiers. It’s flavored with salty shanties and bittersweet goodbyes. It’s unbound by the tug of love and loss that unite humans across eras and borders. www.murphysshambles.com
