Gipsy Love

Gipsy Love

    THE gipsy tents are on the down,
    The gipsy girls are here;
    And it's O to be off and away from the town
    With a gipsy for my dear!

    We'd make our bed in the bracken
    With the lark for a chambermaid;
    The lark would sing us awake in the morning,
    Singing above our head.

    We'd drink the sunlight all day long
    With never a house to bind us;
    And we'd only flout in a merry song
    The world we left behind us.

    We would be free as birds are free
    The livelong day, the livelong day;
    And we would lie in the sunny bracken
    With none to say us nay.

    The gipsy tents are on the down,
    The gipsy girls are here;
    And it's O to be off and away from the town
    With a gipsy for my dear!
