Verse 1
(G major) JUKSY DAVEY (G minor) (G major) (G minor) (G major)
Juksy Davey come through the woods
a -singin' so loud and merry
The green hills all around him rang
and he won the heart of a lady
How old are you, pretty fair miss,
how old are you, my lady?
She answered him down by the riverside,
I'll be sixteen next Sunday
Come go with me, me pretty fair miss,
come go with me, my lady
I'll take you over the country wide,
you'll never short one for money
So she kicked off a high hill,
she's on maybe a thousand paddles
She pulled on her loud fat shoes
and they rode off together
Raggle, tigle, gypsy, gypsy,
(F major) raggle, tigle, gypsy, Davy
(G major) Raggle, tigle, gypsy, gypsy,
(F major) raggle, tigle, gypsy, Davy
It was (G major) late at night
when the squire came
home inquiring for his lady
The servants all around him said,
she's gone with black Jack, baby
Goss her off for me, me milk white steed,
the black one's not so speedy
He rode all night to the broad daylight
and overtook his lady
Rattle, twackle, gypsy, gypsy,
(F major) rattle, twackle, gypsy, divy
(G major) Rattle, twackle, gypsy, gypsy,
(F major) rattle, twackle, gypsy,
(E minor) divy (C major) (D major)
(E minor) (A minor) (D major)
How can you leave
your house
and land you're further bottom, baby?
How can you leave your husband,
Montago,
with black Jack Davy?
Very (G major) well, can I leave me father,
but I'm sorry to leave my baby
Much better, can I leave me husband,
Montago,
with black Jack Davy?
Rattle -tackle
Gypsy
Gypsy, (F major) rattle -tackle
Gypsy Davy
(G major) Rattle -tackle
Gypsy
Gypsy, (F major) rattle -tackle
Gypsy Davy
(G major) I won't come back me darling dear,
I won't come back me honey
I wouldn't give a kiss from Davy's lips
for you, not all your money
(D major) So (G major) she pulled off her milk -white glove
or made her Spanish leather
She gave to him a lily -white hand
and (F major) they'd fare (D minor) well forever
(G major) Raggle, (E minor) faggle, gypsy, (G major) gypsy
Raggle, faggle, gypsy Davy
(E minor) Raggle, faggle, gypsy, (G major) gypsy
Raggle, faggle, gypsy Dav (D major) y (E minor) (D major)
She (G major) soon ran through her
silken gown,
her velvet shoes and stockings
The gold ring from her fingers gone
and she was left with nothing
Once I had a house and land,
I built a bedroom baby
(D minor) But (G major) now I lie on the cold clay ground
with the (C major) gypsy (G major) dancing (A minor) bummy
(G major) Raggle, taggle, gypsy, gypsy,
(F major) Raggle, taggle, gypsy, baby.
(G major) Raggle, taggle, gypsy, gypsy,
(F major) Raggle, taggle, gypsy, baby. (G major)
(F major) (G major) (F major)
