Gypsey Davey
There was a gyp came over the landHe sang so sweet and gailyHe sang beneath the wild wood treeAnd charmed the great lord's ladyThe lord he did come homeEnquiring 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 ne'er so speedy.And I'll ride all night and I'll ride all dayTill I overtake my lady.''He rode all by the riversideOn the grass so wet and dewyAnd seated with her gypsy ladIt's 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 own true loveLetras de cancionesOr even my wee babe?What care I for my house and homeFor I love the Gypsy Davey.''``Well it's fare thee well my own dearIt's fare thee well foreverAnd it's if you don't return with meI swear you'll see me never.''The lord he did ride homeAnd kissed his own wee babeAnd ere six months had passed awayHe'd married another lady.
