Gypsy Rock
The TV version is from December 21, 1971. Its chords are different from the original 1961 recording, and point to the later "Gypsy Dance." Chords and TV version donated by a friend of the page.

Now Jack was working on the farm one evening in July,
When all at once a gypsy girl came gaily tripping by,
She smiled as she went running barefoot through his cabbage patch,
Her hair was long and black and she had fingernails to match.

"Oh let us play of hide and see," the gypsy gaily cried,
"Now close your eyes and count to twenty while I go and hide.
And if you find me I will let you steal a kiss from me,
And if you cannot find me I'll be right behind that tree."

He caught her then he kissed her hand, oh he was very keen,
It was eleven inches long, the biggest hand he'd seen.
And as he kissed that hand a thought into his mind was put,
If that hand had been one inch longer he'd have kissed a foot.

He asked her what her lips were for as they sat by a hedge,
She said, "They're there to stop my mouth from fraying 'round the edge."
"I want you for my wife," he begged as eager as could be,
She said, "Now don't be silly, what would your wife do with me?"

The day they wed, Jack said, "I am the happiest man on earth,"
The preacher said, "Well pay me then and give me what she's worth."
Oh Jackie gave him half a crown, the preacher looked at Jack,
And then he saw his bride-to-be and gave him nine pence back.

Oh Jack went off a-roaming soon after they were wed,
But his wife, she got so lonesome and she went around with Fred.
Oh Jackie got to hear of this and said, "It's time I stopped her,"
So he flew home by aeroplane and by helicopter.
