It was Elate last night when the Aboss come Ehome,

The only answer Athat he got Ewas,

Go Esaddle me up my Abuckskin Ehome,

Point out to me their Awagon Etracks,
and Aafter them I'll Etravel, and Aafter them I'll Eride
Well, I Ehad not rode 'till the Amidnight Emoon,
I saw their Acampfire Egleaming
I heard the notes of the Abig Eguitar,
and the Avoice of the Gypsies Esinging,
that Asong of the Gypsy EDave
It was Ethere in the light of the Acamping Efire,
I saw her Afair face Ebeaming
Her heart in tune to the Abig guEitar,
and the Asong of the gypsies Esinging,
that Asong of the Gypsy EDave
EHave you forsaken your Ahouse and Ehome?
Have you forsaken your AbabEy?
Have you forsaken your Ahusband Edear?
To Ago with the Gypsy EDavey
And Asing with the Gypsy EDavey

Yes, EI've forsaken my Ahusband Edear,
to go with the AGypsy EDavey
And I've forsaken my Amansion Ehigh,
but Anot my blue eyed Ebaby,
Anot my blue eyed Ebabe
She Esmiled to leave her Ahusband Edear,
to go with the AGypsy EDavey
But the tears come a-trickling Adown her Echeeks,
to Athink about her blue eyed Ebaby,
to Athink about her blue eyed Ebabe
ETake off take off those Abuckskin Egloves,
made of ASpanish Eleather
Come give to me your Alily-white Ehand,
and Awe'll ride home toEgether,
and Ahome again we'll Eride
No, I Ewon't take off my Abuckskin Egloves,
made of ASpanish Eleather
I'll go my way from Aday to Eday,
and Asing with the Gypsy EDavey,

the Asong of the Gypsy EDavey,
the Asong of the Gypsy EDave
