From the Tower Window of my Bookhouse

Edoted by Olive Beaupré Miller

Chicago, the Bookhouse for Children Publishers

1921

Artist : Donn Philip Crane

Far away within the wood a troop of Fauns and Sa’tyrs were dancing in a round, while old Syl-va’nus, who was their king, slept in a shady arbor. Gay, rustic, wild-wood folk were these, with horns upon their foreheads and shaggy legs of goats.

12 Day of Christmas [9/12]: Warren Smith. "I just wished I was a little younger, back in the ‘50s, I could do it."

When I think of Warren, I can’t help remembering Nick Tosches’ book “Country: The Twisted Roots of Rock’n’Roll,” where he debunked Warren’s claims that he wrote ‘Black Jack David.’ In Tosches’ writing, he explains why Warren couldn’t have possibly written it.

It’s a wonder, a simple song like ‘Black Jack David,’ could have so much history behind it. The song literally began in fourth century B.C., from the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, and through multiple retellings of the tragic love story in European culture and Celtic mythology, retold in stories like the “The Wooing of Étaín” dating as far back as 1106, where an Irish King has his beloved stolen from him by a Fairy King. In the thirteenth century, the recycled story went from Irish legend and poetry, into almost forgotten Scottish ballad, “King Orfeo.” By the end of the fifteenth century had changed again, this time not told from the man having his woman stolen from him, but told by the woman who was stolen by the other man and not caring to be rescued, with the influx of Gypsies in Britain, the next incarnation was inspired by a Scottish Gypsy family whose surname was Fa, Faa, or Fall, who were infamously known for lawbreaking. One if not all of these Faa’s fell into legendary status, when John VI Earl of Cassillis wrote the first modern opera, “L'Orfeo,” based on the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, that Tosches wrote:

“ When Lord Cassillis was in England on business, the gypsy John Faw and several of his followers traveled to Cassillis and persuaded, some say, by magick, the Lady Jane Cassillis [John VI seemed to have named her after his wife] to elope with him to England. She and Faw had not made it across the border when the Earl overtook them, murdering all the gypsies save one. Lady Jane was placed in a dungeon near Maybole, where she remained until her death in 1642. ”

It’s unknown how much was true, but it certainly gave ‘Black Jack David,’ shape. It’s said, a survivor from Faw’s band composed what would become, “The Gypsie Laddie.” However, Tosches wrote the song was the work of one of the many professional ballad makers, later to be known as the Tin Pan Alley Hacks. These men, much like Edward D. Wood Jr, and the writers who wrote full movie scripts and short stories for a hundred dollars a pop (or less), would sell their songs for a single shilling, rarely if ever, more. The ballad endured in Europe, it’s no surprise it made it to America, even before 1750. ‘The Gypsie Laddie,” moved through each state and changed to ‘The Gyps of Davy,’ ‘The Gypsy Lover,’ ‘Gypsy Davy,’ ‘Black Eyed Davy,’ ‘The Lady’s Disgrace,’ ‘The Three Gypsy Laddies.’ Even a nursery rhyme, ‘The Raggle, Taggle Gypsies,’ from Olive Beaupré Miller’s “The Magic Garden of My Book House” in 1920. The weirdest one ‘Jewish Lady,’ in a Virginia version collected in 1932. Then it became what we know today, ‘Black Jack David,’ one of the most popular titles of the song, though Tosches noted “black jack meant different things in Scottish and English dialects: cockroach, black leather vest, caterpillar, dark sweetmeat made of treacle and spice; it’s significance to the ballad is lost.”

Finally, in October 1929, Professor And Mrs. Greer recorded ‘Black Jack Davy’ for Paramount, Cliff Carlisle recorded his in July 1939, ‘Black Jack David’ for Decca. In October 1940, the Carter Family recorded theirs for Okeh. In 1945, T. Texas Tyler recorded his for Four-Star, Carlisle says he got his version from T. Texas Tyler, even though he didn’t record the song until several years after Carlisle’s record; Tyler copyrighted ‘Black Jack David’ in August 1939, a month after Carlisle recorded his. Then, after all that, Warren, whenever asked would claim he wrote it, and Nick basically went through all that research to be like, “No, you didn’t!”

No amount of paraphrasing, even with what I managed, can do Tosches’ story the justice it deserves. Though it’s short, it’s still too long to copy here, even this is long. I recommend the Google Books preview, it’s free and available [here]. | Photos/Footage: [x] [x]
