| lyric | 1. The Gypsies came to our great hall,
And oh, they sang so sweetly;
They sang so sweet and so complete,
That down came our fair lady.
.2 When she came tripping down the stair,
And all her maids before her,
So soon they saw her lovely face,
They cast a spell upon her.
3. ’Go take me from this mantle gay,
And bring to me a plaidie,
Though kith and kin and all have sworn,
I’ll follow the gypsy laddie.’
4. And when our lord came home at e’en,
And asked for his fair lady,
The one she cried, the other replied,
’She’s away with the gypsy laddie’. |
