Gypsy Davy
By Woody Guthrie
Verse 1
C
It was late last night when the boss come home
He's askin' about his lady
                                    G7
The only answer he received, "she's gone with the
      C       G7                  C
Gypsy Davy, gone with the gypsy Dave"
Verse 2
C
"go saddle for me my buckskin' horse
And a hundred dollars saddle
                                       G7
Point out to me their wagon tracks And after 
           C      G7              C
them I'll travel, after them I'll ride"
Verse 3
C
Well, I had not rode 'til the midnight moon
When I saw the campfire gleaming
                                            G7
I heard the notes of the big guitar And the voice
             C            G7                C
of the gypsy singin' That song of the gypsy Dave
Verse 3
C
There in the light of the camping fire
I saw her fair face beaming
                                              G7
Her heart in tune with the big guitar And the voice
             C            G7                C
of the gypsy singing That song of the gypsy Dave
Verse 4
C
Have you forsaken your house and home
Have you forsaken your baby
                                       G7
Have you forsaken your husband dear To go 
             C          G7
to the gypsy Davey And sing with the gypsy Dave That 
G7                C
song of the gypsy Dave

C
Yes, I've forsaken my husband dear
To go with the gypsy Davy
                                      G7
And I've forsaken my mansion high But not
              C   G7               C
my blue-eyed baby Not my blue-eyed babe
Verse 6

She smiled to leave her husband dear
And go with the Gypsy Davy
                                                  G7
But the tears come a-tricklin' down her cheeks To think
                  C    G7                      C
 of the blue-eyed baby Pretty little blue-eyed babe
Verse 7
C
Take off take off your buskin'gloves
Made of spanish leather
                                      G7
Give to me your lily-white hand We'll ride
           C                  G7        C
 back home together And we'll ride home again
Verse 8
C
No, I won't take off my buskin' gloves
They're made of Spanish leather
                                   G7
I'll go my way from day to day And sing
                C         G7                 C
 with the gypsy Davy That song of the gypsy Dave
      G7               C          G7                C
That song of the gypsy Davey That song of the gypsy Dave
