[Verse 1]
Bm F#7
Oh, the Gypsy Davie came a-ridin' along, singin' so loud and gaily.
Bm Em Bm F#7
With his old guitar and a lusty song, he charmed the heart of a lady,
Em Bm E Bm
The heart of a pretty little lady.
[Verse 1]
Bm F#7
"How old are you, my pretty little miss? How old are you, my lady?"
Bm Em Bm F#7
"Come next week. I'll be sixteen. I've a husband and a baby,
Em Bm E Bm
E man and a pretty little baby."
[Verse 2]
Bm F#7
"Oh, would you leave your house and land, your husband and your baby?
Bm Em Bm F#7
Would you leave them all behind to go with the Gypsy Davie,
Em Bm E Bm
Ride along with the Gypsy Davie?"
[Verse 3]
Bm F#7
She dressed in silks and rings of gold and shoes of Spanish leather,
Bm Em Bm F#7
Then she got on a pony fine and they rode off together,
Em Bm E Bm
And they rode off together.
[Verse 4]
Bm F#7
That night when the man of the house came home, asking for his lady,
Bm Em Bm F#7
Well, the only answer that he got: "She's gone with the Gypsy Davie,
Em Bm E Bm
Rode away with the Gypsy Davie."
[Verse 5]
Bm F#7
He called for his boots and he called for his hat, his pistol, and his saddle,
Bm Em Bm F#7
Then he sprang on his very best horse and after them did travel,
Em Bm E Bm
And after them did travel.

[Verse 6]
Bm F#7
When he saw the man who'd wronged him so, his wrath was hotly kindled,
Bm Em Bm F#7
Then he thought of his lady's tender love, and his anger slowly dwindled,
Em Bm E Bm
His anger slowly dwindled.
[Verse 7]
Bm F#7
"Oh, would you leave your house and land, your true love and your baby?
Bm Em Bm F#7
Oh, would you leave us all behind to go with the Gypsy Davie,
Em Bm E Bm
With the likes of the Gypsy Davie?"
[Verse 8]
Bm F#7
"I care not for your house and land, and you can have my baby.
Bm Em Bm F#7
Yes, I'll leave you all behind to go with the Gypsy Davie,
Em Bm E Bm
For I love this Gypsy Davie."
[Verse 9]
Bm F#7
When the silks and the gold and the rings were gone, old Davie would not tarry.
Bm Em Bm F#7
He says, "You're not a Gypsy girl and you I cannot marry,
Em Bm E Bm
You I cannot marry."
[Verse 10]
Bm F#7
As a beggar now she's dressed in rags. In her heart, she's still a lady.
Bm Em Bm F#7
That night she'll cry herself to sleep thinkin' about her baby,
Em Bm E Bm
True love and her baby.
