1
The gypsy king cam over the hill*
2
Defying storm and danger
3
It seemed to be my lot to fall
4
In love wi the dark eyed stranger
5
I gave tae him o the good wheat bread
6
And he gave tae me the ginger
7
I gave tae him a better thing
8
Aa the gold frae off my fingers
9
And he has asked me tae be his wife
10
Tae be his honoured lady
11
He’s asked me tae leave my home and kin
12
And follow the Gypsy Davy
13
They tell me tae marry beneath my rank
14
Is nothing short of danger
15
But title and gold cannot compare
16
With my love for the dark-eyed stranger
17
So she's ta’en off her high-heeled shoes
18
Aa made wi Spanish leather
19
She's gone doon in her low-heeled shoes
20
And they rode off together
21
They rode high and they rode low
22
They rode so late and early
23
They rode till they cam tae the dark blue sea
24
And oh but she was weary
25
Said last night I slept in a down-feather bed
26
An honoured and titled lady
27
But tonight I'll sleep in the green, green fields
28
In the arms of my Gypsy Davy
29
And when the lord cam home in the night
30
Inquiring for his lady
31
The servants made him this reply
32
She's gone wi the Gypsy Davy
33
Gae saddle tae me my little yellow mare
34
The grey one's not so speedy
35
I’ll ride aa day and I’ll ride aa night
36
And I'll overtake my lady
37
Well he rode til he cam to the dark blue sea
38
It looked so dark and dreary
39
There he spied his own dear bride
40
By the side of the Gypsy Davy
41
Oh will you come home, my dear, my love
42
Will you come home my darlin
43
I'll keep you safe in a close, close room
44
Where no man will ever come near you
45
No I won't come home, my dear, my love
46
I won’t come home my darlin
47
If I brew good beer I'll drink the same
48
And you'll no more come near me
49
So she's ta’en off her long blue gloves
50
Aa made wi Spanish leather
51
She waved fareweel with her little white hands
52
She waved fareweel forever
53
Said last night I slept in a down-feather bed
54
An honoured and titled lady
55
But tonight I'll sleep in the green, green fields
56
In the arms of my Gypsy Davy
