Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDECEFGHGIEJE CJCJKEKE LMLMNEOE PQRQSETEIf they missed my face in Farmers Arms | A |
When the landlord lit the lamp | B |
They would grin and say in their country way | C |
Oh he s down at the Gipsy camp | B |
But they d read of things in the Daily Mail | D |
That the wild Australians do | E |
And I cared no day what the world might say | C |
For I came of the Gipsies too | E |
Oh the Gipsy crowd are a mongrel lot | F |
And a thieving lot and sly | G |
But I d dined on fowls in the far off south | H |
And a mongrel lot was I | G |
Oh the Gipsy crowd are a roving gang | I |
And a sulky silent crew | E |
But they managed a smile and a word for me | J |
For I came of the Gipsies too | E |
- | |
And the old queen looked in my palm one day | C |
And a shrewd old dame was she | J |
My pretty young gent you may say your say | C |
You may laugh your laugh at me | J |
But I ll tell you the tale of your dead dead past | K |
And she told me all too true | E |
And she said that I d die in a camp at last | K |
For I came of the Gipsies too | E |
- | |
And the young queen looked in my eyes that night | L |
In a nook where the hedge grew tall | M |
And the sky was swept and the stars were bright | L |
But her eyes had the sheen of all | M |
The spring was there and the fields were fair | N |
And the world to my heart seemed new | E |
Twas A Romany lass to a Romany lad | O |
But I came of the Gipsies too | E |
- | |
- | |
Now a Summer and Winter have gone between | P |
And wide wild oceans flow | Q |
And they camp again by the sad old Thames | R |
Where the blackberry hedges grow | Q |
Twas a roving star on a land afar | S |
That proved to a maid untrue | E |
But we ll meet when they gather the Gipsy souls | T |
For I came of the Gipsies too | E |
