Gypsy Davey chords
Arlo Guthrie (Gypsy Laddie English Traditional Folk Music 1720)
E A E A E 2x
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
E A 4x
