Текст песни
Rich man, he came home one day
Looking for his lady
Servants told him one and all
She's gone with the Gypsy Davy
Said, "Saddle up my horse for me
Dig me another grave
Ride all day and I'll ride all night
To get to Gypsy Davy"
He rode to the east, and he rode to the west
'Til at last he found her
Lying on a mossy bank
With the gypsy's arms around her
Will you come home with me right now?
Come home and see your baby
I'll forget that you ever rode
Away with the Gypsy Davy
"I won't home again with you", she said
"I don't want to see my baby
I want to roam this world around
Be with the Gypsy Davy"
Soon, this lady changed her mind
Her dress and coat just faded
Shoes they'd walked 'til they wore right off
She lost old Gypsy Davy
What became of the rich man's wife?
I think it's worth relating
Gypsy found another girl
And he left her heart a-breaking
Gypsy ran, he ran away
Left her heart a-breaking
Whistle and sang 'til the green wood rang
And he won the heart of the lady
Whistle and sang 'til the green wood rang
Away went the Gypsy Davy
Whistle and sang 'til the green wood rang
Away went a black jack Davy
Whistle and sang 'til the green wood rang
Away went Gypsy Davy
Whistle and sang 'til the green wood rang
And away went black jack Davy
Away went Gypsy Davy
Away went the black jack Davy
Away went the black jack Davy
