Way out in New Mexico along the Spanish line
I went to work for Clayton Boone
He's a man well past his prime
A man well past his prime
Well he rides in and he asks of me
"What happened to my lady?"
I says to him "She's quit your range
She's run with the Gypsy Davey
She rides with the Gypsy Dave"
Now Gypsy Davey rode across the plains
He sang so loud and sweetly
He sang till he made the prairies ring
And he charmed the heart of a lady
He charmed the heart of a lady
Go saddle for me my buckskin horse
With a silver-mounted saddle
And 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 her fair face beamin'
He heard the sound of the big guitar
And the voice of his Gypsy singin'
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 dyin' day
My heart's with the Gypsy Rover
Oh, I love the Gypsy Dave"
Last night I slept with a mean old man
In golden rooms so stately
Tonight I sleep on the cold hard ground
Beside my lover Davey
Beside my Gypsy Dave
'Twas 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 he asks of me
"What happened to my lady?"
I says to him "She's quit your range
She's run with the Gypsy Davey
She rides with the Gypsy Dave"
Makin' love with Gypsy Davey
Singin' with the Gypsy Dave
