(C)It was late last night when the boss
come home
Askin' about his lady
The only answer he received, "She's (G7)gone
with the
Gypsy (C)Davy, (G7)gone
with the Gypsy (C)Dave."
"Go saddle
for me my buckskin horse
And a hundred dollars saddle
Point out to me their wagon tracks
And after them I'll travel, after them I'll ride"
Well, I had not
rode 'til the midnight moon
When I saw the campfire gleaming
I heard the notes of the big guitar
And the voice of the gypsy singin'
That song of the Gypsy Dave
There in the light
of the camping fire
I saw her fair face beaming
Her heart in tune with the big guitar
And the voice of the gypsy singing
That song of the Gypsy Dave
"Have you
forsaken your house and home
Have you forsaken your baby
Have you forsaken your husband dear
To go to the Gypsy Dave
And sing with the Gypsy Dave
That song of the Gypsy Dave"
"Yes, I've
forsaken my husband dear
To go with the Gypsy Davy
And I've forsaken my mansion high
But not my blue-eyed baby
Not my blue-eyed babe."
She smiled, leave her husband dear
And go with the Gypsy Davy.
But the tears came a-tricklin' down her cheeks
To think of the blue eye'd baby,
Petty little blue eye'd babe.
Take off take off
your buckskin gloves
Made of spanish leather
Give to me your lily-white hand
We'll ride back home together
And we'll ride home again
No, I won't take
off my buckskin gloves
They're made of Spanish leather
I'll go my way from day to day
And sing with the Gypsy Davy
That song of the Gypsy Dave
That song of the Gypsy Davy
That song of the Gypsy Dave
