the gypsy lad - alan bell lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
‘am a gypsy lad, ay, a rovin’ lad
of no fixed abode, one of the family
down the lanes i walk, with mi horse n cart
knowing all men’s hearts are against me

[chorus]
now my caravan, is my only home
and the fire is always burning
from the sunny south to the frozen north
my waggon keeps on rolling

[verse 2]
when the cold winds blow, the winter snow
makes life hard and we go hungry
then its off i run wi’ mi dog and gun
for to shoot the hare and feed my family

[chorus]
now my caravan, is my only home
and the fire is always burning
from the sunny south to the frozen north
my waggon keeps on rolling

[verse 3]
in the early spring, when the small birds sing
and the sleepers stir in the hedgerow
then its off we ride through the countryside
for to seek new work and a place to go
[chorus]
now my caravan, is my only home
and the fire is always burning
from the sunny south to the frozen north
my waggon keeps on rolling

[verse 4]
in a summer land, parked on golden sands
where the sun does shine ‘pon a grey*sea
that’s the hawkin’ trade with the pegs we made
and the fortune tellin’ makes life easy

[chorus]
now my caravan, is my only home
and the fire is always burning
from the sunny south to the frozen north
my waggon keeps on rolling

[verse 5]
but they move us on, and tell us “begone”
your way of life is over
you’re not welcome here, for the people fear
the strangeness of a rover

[chorus]
now my caravan, is my only home
and the fire is always burning
from the sunny south to the frozen north
my waggon keeps on rolling
