Black-Eyed Gypsy by The Prodigals


Three old gypsies came to our hall door

One sang high and the other sang low

The one sang high and the other sang low

And the third sang the black-eyed-gypsy.

 

Upstairs and downstairs the lady ran

Put on her shoes of leather

All of the hue and all of the cry

She's away with the black-eyed gypsy.

 

Late that night the squire came home

Enquiring for his lady

The servant girls replied to him all

She's away with the black-eyed gypsy.

 

Saddle for me my milk-white steed

The black horse is not speedy

I will ride and seek my bride

She's away with the black-eyed gypsy.

He rode east and he rode west

He rode north and south also

He rode till he came to a woody double field

'Twas there he spied his lady

 

"Why did you leave your house and land

Why did you leave your money

Why did you leave your new wed lord

All for the black eyed gypsy?"

 

"What care I for me house and land

What care I for money

What care I for me new wed lord

I'm away with the black eyed gypsy."

 

"Last night you slept in a goose-feather bed

With the blankets turned so bravely

Tonight you lie in a woody double field

In the arms of your black-eyed gypsy."

 

"What care I for a goose-feather bed

With the blankets turned so bravely

Tonight I'll lie in a woody double field

In the arms of my black-eyed gypsy.

 

"For you rode east when I rode west

You rode high when I rode low

I'd rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips

Than you and all your money."
