    E            E6    E
It was late last night when the boss come home,
    E6    E
asking about his lady
        E6   E
The only answer that he got was,
   A          E
she's gone with the Gypsy Davey,
A          E
gone with the Gypsy Dave

  E        E6    E
Go saddle me up my buckskin home,
        E6   E
and my hundred dollar saddle
           E6  E
Point out to me their wagon tracks,
  A        E      A        E
and after them I'll travel, and after them I'll ride

    E           E6    E
Well, I had not rode 'till the midnight moon,
      E6    E
I saw their campfire gleaming
             E6  E
I heard the notes of the big guitar,
    A          E
and the voice of the Gypsies singing,
   A         E
that song of the Gypsy Dave

    E             E6   E
It was there in the light of the camping fire,
     E6    E
I saw her fair face beaming
             E6   E
Her heart in tune to the big guitar,
    A          E
and the song of the gypsies singing,
   A         E
that song of the Gypsy Dave

E           E6    E
Have you forsaken your house and home?
            E6 E
Have you forsaken your baby?
            E6   E
Have you forsaken your husband dear?
  A         E
To go with the Gypsy Davey
  A          E
And sing with the Gypsy Davey
   A         E
that song of the Gypsy Dave?

   E        E6   E
Yes, I've forsaken my husband dear,
        E6  E
to go with the Gypsy Davey
           E6   E
And I've forsaken my mansion high,
  A        E
but not my blue eyed baby,
A        E
not my blue eyed babe

  E          E6   E
She smiled to leave her husband dear,
        E6  E
to go with the Gypsy Davey
                E6    E
But the tears come a-trickling down her cheeks,
  A             E
to think about her blue eyed baby,
  A             E
to think about her blue eyed babe

E            E6    E
Take off take off those buckskin gloves,
    E6   E
made of Spanish leather
           E6     E
Come give to me your lily-white hand,
  A         E
and we'll ride home together,
  A        E
and home again we'll ride

   E         E6    E
No, I won't take off my buckskin gloves,
    E6   E
made of Spanish leather
          E6   E
I'll go my way from day to day,
  A          E
and sing with the Gypsy Davey,
  A         E
the song of the Gypsy Davey,
  A         E
the song of the Gypsy Dave,
  A         E
the song of the Gypsy Davey,
  A         E
the song of the Gypsy Dave
