It was late last night when the boss come home,
E6E6 E MajorE
asking about his lady
E6E6 E MajorE
The only answer that he got was,
A augmentedA E MajorE
she's gone with the Gypsy Davey,
A augmentedA E MajorE
gone with the Gypsy Dave
E MajorE E6E6 E MajorE
Go saddle me up my buckskin home,
E6E6 E MajorE
and my hundred dollar saddle
E6E6 E MajorE
Point out to me their wagon tracks,
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
and after them I'll travel, and after them I'll ride
E MajorE E6E6 E MajorE
Well, I had not rode 'till the midnight moon,
E6E6 E MajorE
I saw their campfire gleaming
E6E6 E MajorE
I heard the notes of the big guitar,
A augmentedA E MajorE
and the voice of the Gypsies singing,
A augmentedA E MajorE
that song of the Gypsy Dave
E MajorE E6E6 E MajorE
It was there in the light of the camping fire,
E6E6 E MajorE
I saw her fair face beaming
E6E6 E MajorE
Her heart in tune to the big guitar,
A augmentedA E MajorE
and the song of the gypsies singing,
A augmentedA E MajorE
that song of the Gypsy Dave
E MajorE E6E6 E MajorE
Have you forsaken your house and home?
E6E6 E MajorE
Have you forsaken your baby?
E6E6 E MajorE
Have you forsaken your husband dear?
A augmentedA E MajorE
To go with the Gypsy Davey
A augmentedA E MajorE
And sing with the Gypsy Davey
A augmentedA E MajorE
that song of the Gypsy Dave?
E MajorE E6E6 E MajorE
Yes, I've forsaken my husband dear,
E6E6 E MajorE
to go with the Gypsy Davey
E6E6 E MajorE
And I've forsaken my mansion high,
A augmentedA E MajorE
but not my blue eyed baby,
A augmentedA E MajorE
not my blue eyed babe
E MajorE E6E6 E MajorE
She smiled to leave her husband dear,
E6E6 E MajorE
to go with the Gypsy Davey
E6E6 E MajorE
But the tears come a-trickling down her cheeks,
A augmentedA E MajorE
to think about her blue eyed baby,
A augmentedA E MajorE
to think about her blue eyed babe
E MajorE E6E6 E MajorE
Take off take off those buckskin gloves,
E6E6 E MajorE
made of Spanish leather
E6E6 E MajorE
Come give to me your lily-white hand,
A augmentedA E MajorE
and we'll ride home together,
A augmentedA E MajorE
and home again we'll ride
E MajorE E6E6 E MajorE
No, I won't take off my buckskin gloves,
E6E6 E MajorE
made of Spanish leather
E6E6 E MajorE
I'll go my way from day to day,
A augmentedA E MajorE
and sing with the Gypsy Davey,
A augmentedA E MajorE
the song of the Gypsy Davey,
A augmentedA E MajorE
the song of the Gypsy Dave,
A augmentedA E MajorE
the song of the Gypsy Davey,
A augmentedA E MajorE
the song of the Gypsy Dave
E MajorE A augmentedA 4x
