pentangle - gypsy countess lyrics

Loading...

three gypsies stood at the castle gate
they sang so high, they sang so low
the lady sat in her chamber late
her heart it melted away as snow

they sang so sweet, they sang so shrill
that soon her tears began to flow
and she laid down her golden gown
her golden rings and all her show

and she’s kicked off her high leather shoes
are of spanish leather-o
off, off for to go in the rain and snow
off, off in the stormy weather-o

at past midnight her lord came home
and where his lady was would know
the servants replied on every side:
she’s gone away with the gypsies-o

come saddle my horse, come saddle my mare
and hang my sword to my saddle bow
that i may ride for to seek my bride
that’s gone away with the gypsies-o

they saddled his horse, they saddled his mare
and hung his sword to his saddle bow
that he might ride for to seek his bride
that’s gone away with the gypsies-o

then he rode high and he rode low
he rode through hills and valleys-o
he rode ’til he spied his own fair bride
following along with the gypsies-o

what makes you leave your house and lands?
what makes you leave your money-o?
what takes you abroad from your wedded lord
to follow along with the gypsies-o?

oh, i want none of your house and lands
and i want none of your money-o
and neither care i for my wedded lord
i’ll follow along with the gypsies-o

last night you slept in a feather bed
rolled in the arms of your husband-o
and now you must sleep on the cold, cold ground
and walk along in the rain and snow

i care not to sleep in a feather bed
rolled in the arms of a husband-o
i’d far rather sleep on the cold, cold ground
and walk along in the rain and snow

nay, that shall not be, i swear – said he
he drew his sword from his saddle bow
and thrice he smote on her lily white throat
and then her red blood down did flow

three gypsies stood at the castle gate
they sang so high, they sang so low
the lady sat in her chamber late
her heart it melted away as snow
