Gypsy Davy Lyrics

It was late last night when the boss came home Asking about his lady The only answer that he got was She's gone with the Gypsy Davey Gone with the Gypsy Dave Go saddle me up my buckskin home And my hundred dollar saddle Point out to me their wagon tracks And after them I'll travel and after them l'll ride Well I had not rode 'till the midnight moon I saw their campfire gleaming I heard the notes of the big guitar And the voice of the Gypsies singing That song of the Gypsy Dave It was there in the light of the camping fire I saw her fair face beaming Her heart in tune to the big guitar And the song of the gypsies 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 with the Gypsy Davey And sing with the Gypsy Davey The song of the Gypsy Dave? Yes I've forsaken my husband dear To go with the Gypsy Davey And I've forsaken my mansion high But not my blue eyed baby Not my blue eyed babe She smiled to leave her husband dear To go with the Gypsy Davey But the tears come at-rickling down her cheeks To think about her blue eyed baby To think about her blue eyed babe Take off take off those buckskin gloves Made of Spanish leather Come give to me your lily-white hand And we'll ride home together And home again we'll ride No I won't take off my buckskin gloves Made of Spanish leather I'll go my way from day to day And sing with the Gypsy Davey The song of the Gypsy Davey The song of the Gypsy Dave
