lyrics

The Squire came home late in the night
Enquiring for his lady
And the answer that they made to him:
“She’s gone with the gypsy Davy.”
With a liptoe tally boney dilly by day
And a wack fol the liptoe lady.

He saddled up his milk-white steed,
He saddled up his pony,
And he rode all night till broad daylight
And he overtook his lady.
With a liptoe tally boney dilly by day
And a wack fol the liptoe lady.

It’s “Come, go back, my dearest dear,
Come back with me, my honey,
And I swear by the sword that hangs by my side
You never shall want for money.”
With a liptoe tally boney dilly by day
And a wack fol the liptoe lady.

“I won’t go back, my dearest dear,
No I won’t go back, my honey.
I’d sooner have a kiss from Davy’s lips
Than all your land and money.”
With a liptoe tally boney dilly by day
And a wack fol the liptoe lady.

“Pull off, pull off your high-heel shoes
All made of Spanish leather
And give to me your lily-white hand,
We’ll bid farewell for ever.”
With a liptoe tally boney dilly by day
And a wack fol the liptoe lady.

She’s pulled off her high-heel shoes
All made of Spanish leather
And she give to him her lily-white hand
And bid farewell for ever.
With a liptoe tally boney dilly by day
And a wack fol the liptoe lady.

Last night she lay on a soft featherbed
With her good lord beside her,
Tonight she lies on the damp cold ground
With the gypsies all around her.
With a liptoe tally boney dilly by day
And a wack fol the liptoe lady,
With a liptoe tally boney dilly by day
And a wack fol the liptoe day.
