Gypsy's Lament
GYPSY's LAMENT (adapt. from anon)
My mother said Don't play in the woods Gypsies will stare and take all your goods 'you naughty girl'
Then father said He'd sew through my head If I ever were to play there again 'you naughty girl'
Yes, here i am! Conceived to disobey Soon you'll be dead On the bed you have made I'll never forget What you say: 'Your hair won't curl your shoes won't shine you gypsy girl you won't be mine' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
The wood was dark The grass was green Along came Sally with a tambourine 'you naughty girl'
She taught me life To sing and dance To win in life We make our chance 'you naughty girl'
So i went to sea No ship to get across I paid ten shillings For a blind white horse I up on his back, and was off with a crack Sally tell my mother: I won't come back!
