And they won the heart O the lady.

Shes away wi the gypsy rover.

My black one isnt so speedy,
And I will ride and Ill seek my bride,

Until he came tae a wide open field,
And there he spied his lady.

And will you gie up your money,
O will you gie up your own wedded lord,
Tae lie wi a gypsy rover.

And you can keep all your money,
For I will gie up my wedded lord,
Tae lie wi the gypsy rover.

last night I lay on a feather bed,
Wi blankets aye sae comely,
Tonight Ill lie in a wide open field,
In the arms of my gypsy rover.
