It was late last night when the squire came home and he's asking for his lady
Only answer that he got, "she's gone with the Gypsy Davy"
Rattle to my Gypsum, Gypsum, Rattle to my Gypsum Davy-O
"Go saddle me up my milk white steed, the black one he ain't so speedy
I''ll ride all night I ride all day til I bring home my lady"
Rattle to my Gypsum, Gypsum, Rattle to my Gypsum Davy-O
Well he rode all night until broad daylight til he comes to a river raging,
There he spied his darling bride in the arms of Blackjack Davy
Rattle to my Gypsum, Gypsum, Rattle to my Gypsum Davy-O
"Come home my true love, come home my honey
I'll put you in a tower so high where the gypsies can't come around you"
Rattle to my Gypsum, Gypsum, Rattle to my Gypsum Davy-O
"Well I won't come home my true love, I won't come home my honey
I wouldn't give a kiss from the gypsy's lips for all your lands and money"
Rattle to my Gypsum, Gypsum, Rattle to my Gypsum Davy-O
