Words and music Robin Williamsson 1979
|
|
Young as I remember
|
The scrag end of the war
|
Gypsies through the borders
|
Came a jingling door to door
|
With posies of primroses
|
and all the bonny bloom
|
But far and near as fool¢¥s fire
|
They came glittering through the gloom
|
|
and their tongues as strong and nimble
|
As would bind the looms of luck
|
Wame to grave by coin and stave
|
The blade¢¥s edge and the cup
|
As young as I remember
|
It¢¥s rosined in the bow
|
and the tune still rambles rhyming
|
To the road the gypsies go
|
