Gypsy Davy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]It [G]was[Gm] lat[G]e la[C]st night
when the boss come home,
he's asking about his lady,
the only answer he received,
she's [G]gone to the gypsy [C]davey,
gone [G]to the gypsy [C]dave.
Go saddle for me my buckskin horse
and a hundred dollar saddle
Point out to me their wagon tracks
and [G]after them I'll [C]travel,
[G]after them I'll [C]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 [G]voice of [C]the gypsy sing
in that [G]song of the gypsy [C]day.
There in the light of the campling fire
I saw her fair face beaming,
her heart in tune with the big guitar
and the [G]voice of the gypsy
[C]singing that [G]song of the gypsy [C]day.
Have you forsaken your house
and home?
Have you forsaken your baby?
Have you forsaken your husband,
dear,
to go with the [G]gypsy davey
and sing with the gypsy day
that song of the gypsy [C]dave
yes i've forsaken my husband dear
to go with the gypsy davey
and i've forsaken my mansion high
but [G]not my blue -eyed [C]baby
not [G]my blue -eyed [C]babe she smiled
leave her husband dear
and go with the gypsy davey
but the tears come
and trickle down her cheeks
to think of the [G]blue -eyed [C]baby,
[G]pretty little blue -eyed [C]babe.
Take off, take off
your buckskin gloves
made of Spanish leather.
Give to me your lily -white hand,
we'll ride back [G]home togeth[C]er
and [G]we'll ride home [C]again.
No, I won't take off a
buckskin glove,
they're made of Spanish leather.
I'll go my way from day to day
and sing with [G]the gypsy davey
that song of the gypsy davey,
that song of the gypsy davey,
that song of the gypsy dav[C]ey.[G][C]
Thank you for watching.
