Tannahill Weavers - The Gypsie Laddie

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “There were three gypsies in a row, and oh but they were bonnie o They sang sae sweet and sae complete they’ve stolen the heart of a lady o Laddie o, laddie o, follow the gypsy laddie o. It’s ye’ll tak’ aff that silken goon, and put on this tartan plaidie o And ye’ll come awa’ this lee-lang-nicht, and follow the gypsy laddie o. Lord Castles he’s cam hame at e’en, enquiring for his lady-o The hounds is run, the hawks is flown, and the gypsy’s awa’ wi’ yer lady o. Come saddle tae me the black, the black, mak haste and soon be ready o For meat and drink I winna taste, till I get back to my lady o. And he’s rode east, and he’s rode west, till he’s cam tae yonder boggie o And there he spied the well-faured maid, in the arms of the gypsy laddie o. Will ye come wi’ me, my honey and my heart, will ye come wi’ me my lady o And I swear by the sword, that hangs by my side the black band ne’er shall steal ye o. I winnae come wi’ you my honey and my heart, I winnae come wi’ you my dearie o Till I hae drank the breest I brewed and that’s in the water o’ the Eerie o. from Are Ye Sleeping Maggie, released June 1, 1976 Traditional, arranged by the Tannahill Weavers“
