And the gay gold ring that the lady wore

Well she gave to the dark-eyed gypsy oh

All enquiring for his lady oh

Come saddle to me the milk white steed

Well Charles put spurs into his horse

Until he fell in with his own wedded love

In the arms of the dark-eyed gypsy oh

Are you going to forsake your house and your land?

Are you going to forsake your children three?

And I’ll follow the dark-eyed gypsy oh

Last night I lay on a fine feather bed

With my own wedded lord beside me oh

In the arms of me dark-eyed gypsy oh
