Lyrics The Gypsy - David McWilliams

The Gypsy

Wake up and sing me some new love song
You’ve lain here beside me all the night long
Will you remember?
Will you return
Or leave me to sorrow and yearn?
I am a poor boy, I have no gold
All I have owned has been bargained and sold
But I will give you the sun and the stars
I will show you what you are
Nancy, will you come?
Will you follow after me?
My coach it is waiting, away we will be
Will you leave your husband’s castle, his land and estate
And follow a rovin' gypsy?
Once I was rich as the king with his crown
Carriages and coaches and srvants dressed in down
But I was robbed by a bold highwayman
Lft without a penny in my hand
Now, just like he a robber I may be
Who roves along the highway and sleeps among the trees
But I have a heart as true as any lord
And more than many can afford
