[Bm]
[E] It is late last night when the boss come home, is asking about his lady.
The only answer he receives, she's gone to the gypsy davey, [B] gone to the [E] gypsy davey.
Go saddle for me my buckskin horse and a hundred dollar saddle.
Point out to me their wagon tracks and after them I'll travel, [B] after them [E] I'll ride.
Well I had not rode till the midnight moon till I saw the campfire gleaming.
I heard the notes of the big guitar and the [B] voice of the gypsy singing that song of the gypsy davey.
There in the light of the campfire saw her fair face beaming.
Her heart in tune with the big [B] guitar and the voice of the [Em] gypsy singing [B] that song of the [E] gypsy davey.
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 [B] gypsy davey
that song of the gypsy [E]
davey.
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, [B] not my blue-eyed [E] babe.
She smiled to leave her husband dear and go with the gypsy davey but her tears come a-trickling
down her cheeks [F#] to think of the blue [E]-eyed baby, pretty little blue-eyed babe.
Take off, take off your buckskin gloves made of Spanish leather.
Give to me your lily white [B] hand, we'll ride back home together and we'll ride [E] 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 [B] sing with the gypsy davey that song of the gypsy davey.
That song of the gypsy davey, that song [E] of the gypsy davey.

that song of the gypsy [E]
davey.

That song of the gypsy davey, that song [E] of the gypsy davey.
