[00:12.768] There was a gypsy came over the land
[00:16.031] He sang so sweet and gaily
[00:22.306] He sang beneath the wild wood tree
[00:25.566] And charmed the great lord's lady
[00:31.819] The lord he did come home
[00:35.082] Enquiring for his lady
[00:38.096] "She's gone, she's gone," said the serving man
[00:41.665] "She's gone with the gypsy Davey."
[00:49.161] "Go saddle me my black mare
[00:52.675] The grey is ne'er so speedy
[00:58.200] And I'll ride all night and I'll ride all day
[01:01.213] Till I overtake my lady."
[01:07.535] He rode all by the riverside
[01:10.545] On the grass so wet and dewy
[01:13.306] And seated with her gypsy lad
[01:16.568] It's there he spied his lady
[01:31.631] "Would you forsake your house and home
[01:35.147] Would you forsake your baby?
[01:40.672] Would you forsake your own true love
[01:43.937] And the promises you gave me?"
[01:49.459] "What care I for my house and home
[01:53.226] Or even my wee baby?
[01:55.989] What care I for my own true love
[01:59.253] For I love the gypsy Davey."
[03:11.301] "Well it's fare thee well my dearest dear
[03:14.816] It's fare thee well forever
[03:20.087] And if you don't return with me
[03:23.603] I swear you'll see me never."
[03:32.391] And the lord he did go homeward
[03:36.156] And kissed his own wee baby
[03:39.166] And ere six months had passed away
[03:42.426] He'd married another lady
