True Confession: I threatened to sell my child to the gypsies!

True Confession: I threatened to sell my child to the gypsies!



Back in the day, during my folk music phase, I used to sing this song, accompanied by guitar:
The gypsy rover came over the hill
Down through the valley so shady,
He whistled and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.


Chorus:
Ah-de-do, ah-de-do-da-day,
Ah-de-do, ah-de-da-ay
He whistled and he sang 'til the greenwoods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.

She left her father's castle gates
She left her own fine love...
