Gypsy [C]Davy, go[G7]ne with the gypsy Da[C]ve"
Verse 2

And a hundred dollars saddle
Point out to me their wagon t[G7]racks
And af[C]ter them I'll trav[G7]el, after them I'll [C]ride"
Verse 3
[C]Well, I had not rode 'til the midnight moon
When I saw the campfire gleaming
I heard the notes of the big gu[G7]itar
And th[C]e voice of the gypsy[G7] singin' That song of the gypsy[C] Dave
Verse 3
[C]There in the light of the camping fire
I saw her fair face beaming
Her heart in tune with the big gu[G7]itar
And th[C]e voice of the gypsy si[G7]nging That song of the gypsy [C]Dave
Verse 4

To go [C]to the gypsy Da[G7]vey And sing with the gypsy [C]Dave That
song of the gypsy Dave

But no[C]t my blue-eyed b[G7]aby Not my blue-eyed b[C]abe
Verse 6
[C]She smiled to leave her husband dear
And go with the Gypsy Davy
But the tears come a-tricklin' down her ch[G7]eeks
To thi[C]nk of the blue-eyed b[G7]aby Pretty little blue-eyed [C]babe

I'll go my way from day to [G7]day
And si[C]ng with the gypsy Da[G7]vy That song of the gypsy Da[C]ve
That song of the gypsy Davey [G7]That song of the gypsy Dav[C]e
