Gypsy Davey
How could she leave her high born lord?
How could she leave her baby?
How could she leave her bed and board?
And elope with the Gypsy Davey?
Last night she slept in an goose-feather bed,
Along with her lord and her baby,
Tonight she sleeps -(Broken off)

Get away, young man
A young man is full of adventure,
and eager to do what he can!
He may be a boy, but don't send a boy
To do the work of a man!
Get away --- get away
Get away, young man, get away!
A young man will come when you call him,
And leave when you tell him to go,
But some day he'll guess, a woman means yes,
Whenever a woman says no!
Get away …
A woman is only a creature
Of notions and dimples and lies
So learn if you can, this lesson, young man,
And don't run off when she cries
Get away -- get away …
If you can!
