| On a blue October morning | B |
| Beneath a cloudless sky | C |
| When all the world's a vibrant harp | D |
| The winds o' God have strung | A |
| And gay as tossing torches the maples light us by | C |
| The rising sun before us a golden bubble swung | A |
| I wish we might go gypsying one day the while we're young | A |

| I wish we might go gypsying one day before we're old | E |
| To step it with the wild west wind | F |
| And sing the while we go | G |
| Through far forgotten orchards | H |
| Hung with jewels red and gold | E |
| Through cool and fragrant forests where never sun may show | G |
| To stand upon a high hill and watch the mist unfold | E |
| I wish we might go gypsying one day before we're old | E |
| - | |
| I wish we might go gypsying dear lad the while we care | I |
| The while we've heart for hazarding | G |
| The while we've will to sing | G |
| The while we've wit to hear the call | J |
| And youth and mirth to spare | I |
| Before a day may find us too sad for gypsying | G |
| Before a day may find us too dull to dream and dare | I |
| I wish we might go gypsying dear lad the while we care | I |
