Where'd you go my pretty little dove

Where'd you go my baby

Where'd you go my pretty little dove

Away with the gamblin' laddy

Away with the Gamblin' Davey

Oh, I cried, I cried the whole day through

I cried for my lady

Left her baby in my arms and ran away in Davey

A cursed Gamblin' Davey

Woo, woah no man

Saddle for me my big ol' horse

Clad in Spanish leather

I ride and after them go down that Gamblin' Davey

A cursed Gamblin' Davey

Woah, woo hoo, yes I will man

'Twas under the light of the pale blue moon

I saw a campfire gleamin'

Heard the notes of an old banjo

And the voice of a rambler singin'

Ah, the song of the ramblin' Davey

Woo, ah no

Why'd you forsake your house and home?

Why'd you forsake your baby?

Why'd you forsake your crown of gold

All for the Gamblin' Davey?

Ah, for the Gamblin' Davey

Woo

Ah, but when I saw her dancin' there

I felt so free and truly

I turned my ol' horse on her heels

And down the road I go

Well, down the road I go

Well man, yeah man

Ah, I don't need that evil gal

Who stole my heart of mine

I'll find another lass, indeed

And love her all the time

Ah, love her all the time

Yoo hoo
