If they missed my face in Farmers ArmsA
When the landlord lit the lampB
They would grin and say in their country wayC
Oh he s down at the Gipsy campB
But they d read of things in the Daily MailD
That the wild Australians doE
And I cared no day what the world might sayC
For I came of the Gipsies tooE
Oh the Gipsy crowd are a mongrel lotF
And a thieving lot and slyG
But I d dined on fowls in the far off southH
And a mongrel lot was IG
Oh the Gipsy crowd are a roving gangI
And a sulky silent crewE
But they managed a smile and a word for meJ
For I came of the Gipsies tooE
-
And the old queen looked in my palm one dayC
And a shrewd old dame was sheJ
My pretty young gent you may say your sayC
You may laugh your laugh at meJ
But I ll tell you the tale of your dead dead pastK
And she told me all too trueE
And she said that I d die in a camp at lastK
For I came of the Gipsies tooE
-
And the young queen looked in my eyes that nightL
In a nook where the hedge grew tallM
And the sky was swept and the stars were brightL
But her eyes had the sheen of allM
The spring was there and the fields were fairN
And the world to my heart seemed newE
Twas A Romany lass to a Romany ladO
But I came of the Gipsies tooE
-
-
Now a Summer and Winter have gone betweenP
And wide wild oceans flowQ
And they camp again by the sad old ThamesR
Where the blackberry hedges growQ
Twas a roving star on a land afarS
That proved to a maid untrueE
But we ll meet when they gather the Gipsy soulsT
For I came of the Gipsies tooE
