Gypsy Davy

Rich man, he came home one day

Looking for his lady

Servants told him one and all

She's gone with the Gypsy Davy

Said, "Saddle up my horse for me

Dig me another grave

Ride all day and I'll ride all night

To get to Gypsy Davy"

He rode to the east, and he rode to the west

'Til at last he found her

Lying on a mossy bank

With the gypsy's arms around her

Will you come home with me right now?

Come home and see your baby

I'll forget that you ever rode

Away with the Gypsy Davy

"I won't home again with you", she said

"I don't want to see my baby

I want to roam this world around

Be with the Gypsy Davy"

Soon, this lady changed her mind

Her dress and coat just faded

Shoes they'd walked 'til they wore right off

She lost old Gypsy Davy

What became of the rich man's wife?

I think it's worth relating

Gypsy found another girl

And he left her heart a-breaking

Gypsy ran, he ran away

Left her heart a-breaking

Whistle and sang 'til the green wood rang

And he won the heart of the lady

Whistle and sang 'til the green wood rang

Away went the Gypsy Davy

Whistle and sang 'til the green wood rang

Away went a black jack Davy

Whistle and sang 'til the green wood rang

Away went Gypsy Davy

Whistle and sang 'til the green wood rang

And away went black jack Davy

Away went Gypsy Davy

Away went the black jack Davy

Away went the black jack Davy
