Gypsy
I waited fer their gentle snoring
And escaped into the night
The moon was generous ta me
Pouring out her gracious light
I made me way ta the creek
It’s waterery path me guide
And cut through forest and pasture
With a sure an steady stride
I dinna know – not then
It was to be the very last night
I could watch the gypsy dance
In the glow of the firelight
I heard their untamed music
Far off and beckoning me
An me heart was jumpin wildly
Wantin ta keep ta the beat
And then I saw the fire glow
And the stand of trees, my hide
And minded ta watch me stealth
That forced me to slow me stride
Breathless I was, but not from the hike
Fer my gypsy girl was there
And dancin wilder than e’er I’d seen
And tossin her long, curly hair
There were bangles on her arms
And around her ankles too
Catchin the light as she danced
And jumpin wi each o’ her moves
An old gypsy woman was there
Cross-legged on the ground
Smokin a pipe an smilin
And noddin her head at the sound
An dreamin I was of the gypsy lass
How her mouth would feel on me own
When I glanced ta see the old woman
And I knew that I’d been found
Her eyes locked on me own
An I could’na tear ‘em away
But the frown on her brow softened
A nod givin permission to stay
I’d had me share of knocks by then
Clocked in the head a time or two
A bit of rough treatment from me dad
Though he had a lot ta do
Takin the pipe from her mouth
And still wi her eyes on mine
The old gypsy smiled me a smile
And I ne’er had seen it’s kind
The gypsy lass who danced so wild
And stirred the man in me
Has faded from me mind with years
But such is fickle memory
But I were a lad knew little but work
Or the clout of a calloused hand
So it’s only as an old man now
I finally understand
Why the lovely dancin gypsy lass
Is not the face that I can see
But clearly etched is the one
Who smiled a kind smile at me
