It was late last night when the boss come home

He's askin' about his lady

Gypsy Davy, gone with the gypsy Dave"

And a hundred dollars saddle
                                       G7      
Point out to me their wagon tracks And after

Well, I had not rode 'til the midnight moon

When I saw the campfire gleaming
                                            G7      
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
                                              G7      
Her heart in tune with the big guitar And the voice
             C            G7                C
of the gypsy singing That song of the gypsy Dave

Have you forsaken your house and home

Have you forsaken your baby
                                       G7      
Have you forsaken your husband dear To go 
             C          G7                   
to the gypsy Davey And sing with the gypsy Dave That

To go with the gypsy Davy
                                      G7      
And I've forsaken my mansion high But not
              C   G7               C
my blue-eyed baby Not my blue-eyed babe

She smiled to leave her husband dear

And go with the Gypsy Davy
                                                  G7      
But the tears come a-tricklin' down her cheeks To think
                  C    G7                      C
 of the blue-eyed baby Pretty little blue-eyed babe

Take off take off your buskin'gloves

Made of spanish leather
                                      G7      
Give to me your lily-white hand We'll ride
           C                  G7        C
 back home together And we'll ride home again

No, I won't take off my buskin' gloves

They're made of Spanish leather
                                   G7      
I'll go my way from day to day And sing
                C         G7                 C
 with the gypsy Davy That song of the gypsy Dave
      G7               C          G7                C
That song of the gypsy Davey That song of the gypsy Dave
