Sandy Denny - Gypsy Davey Lyrics
There was a gypsy came over the land,He sang so sweet and gaily.He sang beneath the wild wood treeAnd charmed the great lords lady.The lord he did come homeEnquiring for his lady``shes gone, shes gone, said the serving man,``shes gone with the gypsy davey.``go saddle me my black mare,The grey is neer so speedy.And Ill ride all night and Ill ride all dayTill I overtake my lady.He rode all by the riversideOn the grass so wet and dewy.And seated with her gipsy ladIts there he spied his lady.``would you forsake your house and home,Would you forsake your baby?Would you forsake your own true loveAnd the promises you gave me?``what care I for my house and homeOr even my wee baby?What care I for my own true loveFor I love the gypsy davey.``well its fare thee well my dearest dear,Its fare thee well forever.And if you dont return with meI swear youll see me never.And the lord he did go homewardAnd kissed his own wee baby.And ere six months had passed awayHed married another lady.
