A Song (continued)
“There is three gipsy's in the east”
(continued from previous page)Or what do I care for your children also
I'd rather one kiss from the darky Gipsy's lips
Than all your gold or threasure Ó.
She took off the garment that she wore
And wound them as a Herent Ó.
I will eat of the grass and drink of the dew
And go follow the dark eye Gipsy Ó.
