Gypsy Davy
By Woody Guthrie
Verse 1
CIt was late last night when the boss come home
He's askin' about his lady
The only answer he received, "she's G7gone with the
Gypsy CDavy, goG7ne with the gypsy DaCve"
Verse 2
C"go saddle for me my buckskin' horse
And a hundred dollars saddle
Point out to me their wagon tracks And G7after
them I'll tCravel, G7after them I'll Cride"
Verse 3
CWell, I had not rode 'til the midnight moon
When I saw the campfire gleaming
I heard the notes of the big guitar And the G7voice
of the gypsy Csingin' That G7song of the gypsy CDave
Verse 3
CThere in the light of the camping fire
I saw her fair face beaming
Her heart in tune with the big guitar And the G7voice
of the gypsy Csinging That G7song of the gypsy CDave
Verse 4
CHave you forsaken your house and home
Have you forsaken your baby
Have you forsaken your husband dear To G7go
to the gypsy CDavey And sG7ing with the gypsy Dave That
G7song of the gypsy CDave
Verse 5
CYes, I've forsaken my husband dear
To go with the gypsy Davy
And I've forsaken my mansion high But G7not
my blue-eyed bCaby G7Not my blue-eyed Cbabe
Verse 6
CShe smiled to leave her husband dear
And go with the Gypsy Davy
But the tears come a-tricklin' down her cheeks To G7think
of the blue-eyed Cbaby G7Pretty little blue-eyed Cbabe
Verse 7
CTake off take off your buskin'gloves
Made of spanish leather
Give to me your lily-white hand We'll G7ride
back home Ctogether And we'll G7ride home Cagain
Verse 8
CNo, I won't take off my buskin' gloves
They're made of Spanish leather
I'll go my way from day to day And G7sing
with the gypsy CDavy That G7song of the gypsy DCave
That sG7ong of the gypsy CDavey That G7song of the gypsy CDave
