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

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