Gypsy's Lament
GYPSY's LAMENT (adapt. from anon)
My mother said
Don't play in the woods
Gypsies will stare
and take all your goods
'you naughty girl'
Then father said
He'd sew through my head
If I ever were to play there again
'you naughty girl'
Yes, here i am!
Conceived to disobey
Soon you'll be dead
On the bed you have made
I'll never forget
What you say:
'Your hair won't curl
your shoes won't shine
you gypsy girl
you won't be mine'

The wood was dark
The grass was green
Along came Sally
with a tambourine
'you naughty girl'
She taught me life
To sing and dance
To win in life
We make our chance
'you naughty girl'
So i went to sea
No ship to get across
I paid ten shillings
For a blind white horse
I up on his back, and was off with a crack
Sally tell my mother:
I won't come back!
