This is a variant of the Gypsy Girl, called the Gypsy's Wedding Day, I don't have all the lyrics, I've edited some that I copied from the Gypsy Girl, as heard on "Burl Ives Sings His Favorites (or Best)" Audio CD (April 23, 1996) Original Release Date: 1996 Number of Discs: 1 Label: Tko Coll. Blues ASIN: B000005IOK When I was a walkin' down a London street, A handsome young Gypsy Girl, the first I chance to meet, I saw her pretty brown eyes I knowed I loved her well, Says I "My little Gypsy Girl will you my fortune tell?" Will you my fortune tell, will you my fortune tell? Says I my little Gypsy Girl will you my fortune tell? Oh yes, sir, oh please sir, hold to me your hand You have many a fortunes in many a far-off lands You've courted many fine ladies, you've thrown them all aside It is a little Gypsy Girl that is to be your bride That is to be your bride, that is to be your bride It is a little Gypsy Girl that is to be your bride. I took her, and led her, to a place on a quiet shore With servants to wait on her, and open up her door *Oh once she was a gypsy girl, but now a band does play It was the celebration of the Gypsy's Wedding Day The Gypsy's Wedding Day, oh the Gypsy's Wedding Day It was the celebration of the Gypsy's Wedding Day. *Note: not sure about this line
