Don Edwards - Gypsy Davey lyrics

Way out in New Mexico Along the Spanish Line I went to work for Clayton Boone A man well past his prime A man well past his prime Well, he rides in and asks of me "What happened to my lady?" I says to him, "She's quit your range She run with the Gypsy Davy" "She rides with the Gypsy Davy" Now Gypsy Davy ride across the plains He sang so loud and sweetly He sang till he made the prairies ring He charmed the heart of a lady He charmed the heart of a lady Go saddle for me my buckskin horse With the silver mounted saddle Point out to me their fresh laid tracks And after them I'll travel And after them I'll ride He rode by the light of the midnight moon He rode both late and early Until he found his own true love In the arms of the Gypsy Davey In the arms of the Gypsy Dave There in the light of the camp lit fire He saw a fair faced bemon He heard the sound of the big guitar And the voice of his gypsy singing The song of the Gypsy Dave Have you forsaken your house and home Have you forsaken your baby Have you forsaken my silver and gold To go with the Gypsy Davey To go with the Gypsy Dave Yes, I've forsaken my house and home To go with the Gypsy Davey And I'll forsake your silver and gold But not my blue-eyed baby No, not my blue-eyed babe He's my lover I heard her say He's the lord of the free land over I'll stay with him till my dying day My heart's with the gypsy rover Oh, I love the Gypsy Dave Last night I slept with a mean old man In a golden room so stately Tonight I sleep on the cold hard ground Beside my lover Davey Beside my Gypsy Dave T'was way out in New Mexico Along the Spanish Line When I went to work for Clayton Boone A man well past his prime He's a man well past his prime Well, he rides in and asks of me "What happened to my lady?" I says to him, "She's quit your range She run with the Gypsy Davy" "She rides with the Gypsy Davy" Making love to Gypsy Davey Singing with the Gypsy Dave
