about

BLACK JACK DAVY (Trad./Sorbye)
This is our adaptation of a Celtic Folk Ballad, possibly written about 1720.
The song has many variations such as The Gypsy Laddie, Raggle Taggle Gypsy, Gypsy Davy etc.,
and has often been used and recorded not only in Ireland and The British Isles, but also in Canada
and The United States

and The United States. Tempest had originally done this back in 1988 when we recorded our first demo. We got the line-up together and performed it for our 20th anniversary and needed another rocker for the album. A rousing live favorite about a romantic traveling gypsy stealing away the hearts of the farmer’s daughters and wives.
