Gypsum Davy Lyrics – Jean Ritchie
Singer: Jean Ritchie
Title: Gypsum Davy
It was late in the night when the lord came home
Inquiring for his lady
Servants said on every hand
She’s gone with the Gypsum Davy
Rattle to my Gypsum Gypsum, rattle to my Gypsum Davy
Oh, go catch up my snow-white steed
The black one’s not so speedy
I’ll ride till I overtake my bride
She’s gone with the Gypsum Davy
Rattle to my Gypsum Gypsum, rattle to my Gypsum Davy
He rode and he rode till he came to the town
He rode till he come to Barley
Tears came rolling down his cheeks
‘Cause there he spied his lady
Rattle to my Gypsum Gypsum, rattle to my Gypsum Davy
It’s come go back, my dearest dear
It’s come go back, my honey
Come go back, my dearest dear
And you never shall lack for money
Rattle to my Gypsum Gypsum, rattle to my Gypsum Davy
I won’t go back, my dearest dear
I won’t go back, my honey
I’d rather have a kiss from a gypsy’s lips
Than you and all your money
Rattle to my Gypsum Gypsum, rattle to my Gypsum Davy
It’s go pull off those snow-white gloves
A-made of Spanish leather
Give to me your lily-white hand
And bid farewell forever
Rattle to my Gypsum Gypsum, rattle to my Gypsum Davy
It’s she pulled off those snow-white gloves
Made of Spanish leather
She gave to him her lily-white hand
And bade farewell forever
Rattle to my Gypsum Gypsum, rattle to my Gypsum Davy
Oh, once I had a house and land
A featherbed and money
Now I’ve come to an old straw pad
With the gypsies a-dancin’ around me
Rattle to my Gypsum Gypsum, rattle to my Gypsum Davy
