ralph hodgson: gypsy girl - v. c. clinton-baddeley lyrics

Loading...

“come, try your sk!ll, kind gentlemen
a penny for three tries!”
some threw and lost, some threw and won
a ten*a*penny prize

she was a tawny gypsy girl
a girl of twenty years
i liked her for the lumps of gold
that jingled from her ears;

i liked the flaring yellow scarf
bound loose about her throat
i liked her showy purple gown
and flashy velvet coat

a man came up, too loose of tongue
and said no good to her;
she did not blush as saxons do
or turn upon the cur;

she fawned and whined, “sweet gentlеman
a penny for three tries!”
— but oh, the dеn of wild things in
the darkness of her eyes!

- v c clinton baddeley lyrics
