The Gypsy  Lyrics And Chords by Johnny McEvoy

A traditional song recorded by Johnny McEvoy and later by Gaelic Storm, it's also one of my favorite folk songs to sing. Here's a list of Johnny McEvoy songs from the site that have the guitar chords. Other well known folk songs about Gypsies on this site include The Gypsy Rover [ lyrics ] which was covered by many ballad singers.

[D]Do you think that you're in love with me, [A]listen to what I say.
you're too young to come with me, I'll [D]soon be on me way.
So stop your silly crying now, how can i make you[G] see
That [D]I'm a gypsy rover, love, and [A]you cant come with [D]me.
Go [G]home,[A] Girl, go [D]home
Go [G]home [A]girl go [D]home
 
 
And I met you at the market, when your mum was not with thee
You like me long brown ringlets and me handkerchief of blue
And although I'm very fond of you, you asked me home for tea
but I'm a gypsy rover, love, and you cant come with me.
Go home, Girl, go home
Go home
 
 
And your brother is a peeller, and would lock me up in the jail
if he knew I was a poacher and I hunt your lord's best quail
Well your daddy is a gentleman, and your mammy just as grand 
But I'm a gypsy rover, love and I'll not be your husband
Go home, Girl, go home
Go home
 
 
Now the hour's drawing on my love, your mum's expecting thee
Don't tell her that you met me here, or I'm a gypsy 
Ahh leave go off me jacket now, your love will have to wait
For I am twenty-two years old, and you, you're only eight
Go home, Girl, go home
Go home
Go home, Girl, go home
Go home 

​Alternative guitar chords for the key of G Major.

So stop your silly crying now, how can i make you[C] see
That [G]I'm a gypsy rover, love, and [D]you cant come with [G]me.
Go [C]home,[D] Girl, go [G]home
Go [C]home [D]girl go [G]home
