The Gypsy - David McWilliams

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
