Gypsy Davy Songtext
von Texas Gladden

One night after dark the landlord came
A-looking for his lady
One of the servants then spoke up
"She′s gone with the Gypsy Davy"

"Oh, saddle for me my fine brown steed
And bring to me my money
I've rode all day and I′ll ride all night
I'll overtake my honey"


"Come go with me my fair young miss
Come go with me my honey
I swear by the gold that hangs by my side
You never shall want for money"

"If you'll forsake your house and land
If you′ll forsake your baby
If you′ll forsake your own true love
And go with the Gypsy Davy"

"I could forsake my house and land
I could forsake my baby
I could forsake my own true love
And go with the Gypsy Davy"


"Last night you lay in a warm feather bed
Your arms around your baby
Tonight you will lay on the cold riverside
In the arms of the Gypsy Davy"
