Barbara Dane – Gypsy Davy

Barbara Dane – Gypsy Davy Lyrics

Artist: Barbara Dane
Song: Gypsy Davy

Late last night my lord came home
Askin about his lady
The only answer that he received
“She’s gone with the Gypsy Davey

Gone with the Gypsy Dave”
Well saddle for me a buckskin horse
My hundred dollar saddle
Point out to me their wagon tracks

And after them I’ll travel
After them I’ll ride
Well he rode and he rode in the midnight moon
Til he saw the campfire gleaming

Heard the voicе of that big guitar
The voice of the gypsiеs singing
That song of the Gypsy Dave
Well have you forsaken your house and land?

Your butlers and your lady?
Have you forsaken your husband dear
To go with the Gypsy Davy?
Sing with the Gypsy Dave?

Yes I’ve forsaken my house and land
My butlers and my lady
And I’ve forsaken my husband dear
Just to go with the Gypsy Davy

And sing with the Gypsy Dave
She laughed to leave house and land
The butlers and the ladies
But the tears come a-trickling down her cheeks

At the thought of the blue-eyed baby
Pretty little blue-eyed babe
Oh take off, take off your buckskin gloves
Made of Spanish leather

Give to me your little hand
We’ll ride home together
Ride home again
No, I’ll not take off my buckskin gloves

Made of Spanish leather
Gonna go my way from day to day
I’ll sing with the Gypsy Davy
The song of the Gypsy Davy

The song of the Gypsy Dave
