My Mother said I never should Play with the gypsies in the wood; If I did, she would say, You naughty girl to disobey
Your hair shan’t curl and your shoes shan’t shine, You gypsy girl, you shan’t be mine. Your hair shan’t curl and your shoes shan’t shine, Your hair shan’t curl and your shoes shan’t shine, You gypsy girl, you shan’t be mine. You gypsy girl, you shan’t be mine. Ууууу ууууу
My father said that if I did He’d rap my head with the teapot-lid. The wood was dark, the grass was green Along came Sally with a tambourine. I went to sea – no ship (to get) across, I paid ten shillings for a blind white horse. I up on his back Was off on a crack, Sally tell my mother that I shan’t come back. Never never never come back home Never never come back home Never never Never never never come back home Never never come back home Never come back home
