Little Gypsy Girl

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My father is the king of the gypsies, it is true My mother, she learned me some camping for to do They put the pack all on my back, they all did wish me well So I set off for London town, some fortunes for to tell [Verse 2] Now one night I came to some fair London street A handsome young squire I chanced for to meet He viewed my brown cheeks and he liked them so well He says, "My little gypsy girl, can you my fortune tell?" [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] "Why yes, kind sir, give me hold of your hand Why, you have got houses, you've riches and you've land Now all those pretty ladies, you must put them to one side For I'm the little gypsy girl that is to be your bride" [Verse 4] Now once I was a gypsy girl but now a squire's bride I've servants for to wait on me and in my carriage ride The bells they rang so merrily, the sweet music did play And a jolly time we had upon the gypsy's wedding day
