Gypsy Davey - Fotheringay

Written by：Trad.

There was a gypsy came over the land

He sang so sweet and gaily

He sang beneath the wild wood tree

And charmed the great lord's lady

The lord he did come home

Enquiring for his lady

She's gone she's gone said the serving man

She's gone with the gypsy Davey

Go saddle me my black mare

The grey is never so speedy

And I'll ride all night and I'll ride all day

Till I overtake my lady

He rode all by the riverside

On the grass so wet and dewy

And seated with her gypsy lad

It's there he spied his lady

Would you forsake your house and home

Would you forsake your baby

Would you forsake your own true love

And the promises you gave me

What care I for my own true love

Or even my wee baby

What care I for my house and home

For I love the gypsy Davey

Well it's fare thee well my own dear

It's fare thee well forever

And if you don't return with me

I swear you'll see me never

The lord he did ride home

And kissed his own wee babe

And ere six months had passed away

He'd married another lady
