The Gypsy Lyrics And Chords by Johnny McEvoy
A traditional song recorded by Johnny McEvoy and later by Gaelic Storm, it's also one of my favorite folk songs to sing. Here's a list of Johnny McEvoy songs from the site that have the guitar chords. Other well known folk songs about Gypsies on this site include The Gypsy Rover [ lyrics ] which was covered by many ballad singers.
[D]Do you think that you're in love with me, [A]listen to what I say.
you're too young to come with me, I'll [D]soon be on me way. So stop your silly crying now, how can i make you[G] see That [D]I'm a gypsy rover, love, and [A]you cant come with [D]me. Go [G]home,[A] Girl, go [D]home Go [G]home [A]girl go [D]home And I met you at the market, when your mum was not with thee You like me long brown ringlets and me handkerchief of blue And although I'm very fond of you, you asked me home for tea but I'm a gypsy rover, love, and you cant come with me. Go home, Girl, go home Go home And your brother is a peeller, and would lock me up in the jail if he knew I was a poacher and I hunt your lord's best quail Well your daddy is a gentleman, and your mammy just as grand But I'm a gypsy rover, love and I'll not be your husband Go home, Girl, go home Go home Now the hour's drawing on my love, your mum's expecting thee Don't tell her that you met me here, or I'm a gypsy Ahh leave go off me jacket now, your love will have to wait For I am twenty-two years old, and you, you're only eight Go home, Girl, go home Go home Go home, Girl, go home Go home |
