jean ritchie – gypsy laddie lyrics
[verse 1]
an english lord came home one night
enquiring for his lady
the servants said on every hand
she’s gone with the gypsy laddie
[verse 2]
“go saddle up my milk+white steed
go saddle me up my brownie
and i will ride both night and day
till i overtake my bonnie”
[verse 3]
oh, he rode east and he rode west
and at last he found her
she was lying on the green, green grass
and the gypsy’s arms around her
[verse 4]
“oh, how can you leave your house and land?
how can you leave your money?
how can you leave your rich young lord
to be a gypsy’s bonnie?
[verse 5]
“how can you leave your house and land?
how can you leave your baby?
how can you leave your rich young lord
to be a gypsy’s lady?
[verse 6]
“oh, come go home with me, my dear
come home and be my lover
i’ll furnish you with a room so neat
with a silken bed and covers”
[verse 7]
“i won’t go home with you, kind sir
nor will i be your lover
i care not for your rooms so neat
or your silken bed or your covers
[verse 8]
“it’s i can leave my house and land
and i can leave my baby
i’m a+goin’ to roam this world around
and be a gypsy’s lady”
[verse 9]
oh, soon this lady changed her mind
her clothes grew old and faded
her hose and shoes came off her feet
and left them bare and naked
[verse 10]
just what befell this lady now
i think it worth relating
her gypsy found another lass
and left her heart a+breaking
