Gypsy Davey

Was late last night when the boss came home
Asking about his lady
The only answered he received was
She's gone with Gypsy Davey
Gone with Gypsy Dave

Go saddle for me my buckskin mare
With the $100 saddle
Point out to me their fresh laid tracks
and after them I'll travel
After them I'll ride

I had not rode till the midnight moon
When I saw their campfire gleaming
I heard the notes of the big guitar
And the song that he was singing
Singing Gypsy Dave

There in the light of the camping fire
I saw her fare face beaming
Her heart in tune with the big guitar
And the songs that they were singing
The song of Gypsy Dave

Chorus:
Have you forsaken your house and home
Have you forsaken your baby
Have you forsaken your husband dear
To go with Gypsy Davey
To go with Gypsy Dave

Yes I've forsaken my husband dear
To go with the Gypsy Davey
And I'll forsake your mansion high
But not my blue eyed baby
Pretty little blue eyed babe

She smiled to leave her husband there
And go with Gypsy Davey
But the tears come trickling down her face
To think of her blue eyed baby
Pretty little blue eyed babe

Take off, take off your buckskin gloves
Made of Spanish leather
Give to me your lily white hand
And we'll ride home together
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 day to day
And sing with Gypsy Davey
I love Gypsy dave
