[Verse 1]
        Em                       
Oh, the Gypsy Davie came a-ridin' 
                            B7
along, singin' so loud and gaily.
         Em    Am               
With his old guitar and a lusty 
Em                              
song, he charmed the heart of a 
B7
lady,
    Am                       Em   
The heart of a pretty little lady.
  A  Em


[Verse 1]
      Em                           
"How old are you, my pretty little 
                          B7
miss? How old are you, my lady?"
 Em        Am               Em   
"Come next week. I'll be sixteen.
                      B7
 I've a husband and a baby,
  Am                      Em     
A man and a pretty little baby."
A  Em


[Verse 2]
       Em                          
 "Oh, would you leave your house 
                              B7
and land, your husband and your 
baby?
Em        Am               Em   
Would you leave them all behind 
                     B7
to go with the Gypsy Davie,
      Am                  Em     
Ride along with the Gypsy Davie?"
A  Em


[Verse 3]
     Em                          
She dressed in silks and rings of 
                           B7
gold and shoes of Spanish leather,
     Em      Am        Em        
Then she got on a pony fine and 
               B7
they rode off together,
    Am               Em     A  Em
And they rode off together.

[Verse 4]
       Em                          
That night when the man of the 
                            B7
house came home, asking for his 
lady,
          Em   Am             Em 
Well, the only answer that he 
                             B7
got: "She's gone with the Gypsy 
Davie,
    Am                   Em     A 
Rode away with the Gypsy Davie."
 Em


[Verse 5]
     Em                       
He called for his boots and he 
called for his hat, his pistol, and 
     B7
his saddle,
     Em        Am               
Then he sprang on his very best 
Em                       B7
horse and after them did travel,
     Am            Em     A  Em
And after them did travel.

[Verse 6]
         Em                        
 When he saw the man who'd wronged 
                            B7
him so, his wrath was hotly kindled,
        Em             Am         
Then he thought of his lady's 
   Em                         B7
tender love, and his anger slowly 
dwindled,
    Am            Em     A  Em
His anger slowly dwindled.

[Verse 7]
      Em                           
"Oh, would you leave your house and
                              B7
 land, your true love and your baby?
    Em        Am             Em  
Oh, would you leave us all behind
                      B7
 to go with the Gypsy Davie,
         Am                 Em     
With the likes of the Gypsy Davie?"
A  Em


[Verse 8]
    Em                         
 "I care not for your house and 
                           B7
land, and you can have my baby.
Em        Am              Em    
Yes, I'll leave you all behind 
                    B7
to go with the Gypsy Davie,
      Am              Em     A  Em
For I love this Gypsy Davie."

[Verse 9]
         Em                        
When the silks and the gold and the
 rings were gone, old Davie would 
    B7
not tarry.
   Em                        Am   
He says, "You're not a Gypsy girl 
    Em           B7
and you I cannot marry,
Am           Em     A  Em
You I cannot marry."

[Verse 10]
     Em                         
As a beggar now she's dressed in 
rags. In her heart, she's still a 
 B7
lady.
     Em           Am           
That night she'll cry herself to 
        Em                 B7
sleep thinkin' about her baby,
Am                Em     A  Em
True love and her baby.
