Gypsy Davy chords by Woody Guthrie, Cisco Houston
Verse 1
C
G
Gm
G
C
It was late last night
when the boss come home,
he's asking about his lady,
the only answer he received,
G
C
she's gone to the gypsy davey,
G
C
gone to the gypsy dave.
Go saddle for me my buckskin horse
and a hundred dollar saddle
Point out to me their wagon tracks
G
C
and after them I'll travel,
G
C
after them I'll ride
Well I had not rode till the midnight moon
till I saw the campfire gleaming
I heard the notes of the big guitar
G
C
and the voice of the gypsy sing
G
C
in that song of the gypsy day.
There in the light of the campling fire
I saw her fair face beaming,
her heart in tune with the big guitar
G
and the voice of the gypsy
C
G
C
singing that song of the gypsy day.
Have you forsaken your house
and home?
Have you forsaken your baby?
Have you forsaken your husband,
dear,
G
to go with the gypsy davey
and sing with the gypsy day
C
that song of the gypsy dave
yes i've forsaken my husband dear
to go with the gypsy davey
and i've forsaken my mansion high
G
C
but not my blue -eyed baby
G
C
not my blue -eyed babe she smiled
leave her husband dear
and go with the gypsy davey
but the tears come
and trickle down her cheeks
G
C
to think of the blue -eyed baby,
G
C
pretty little blue -eyed babe.
Take off, take off
your buckskin gloves
made of Spanish leather.
Give to me your lily -white hand,
G
C
we'll ride back home together
G
C
and we'll ride home again.
No, I won't take off a
buckskin glove,
they're made of Spanish leather.
I'll go my way from day to day
G
and sing with the gypsy davey
that song of the gypsy davey,
that song of the gypsy davey,
C
G
C
that song of the gypsy davey.
Thank you for watching.
