Hi
I found this thread by accident and wonder if anyone on it can help me. I'm trying to puzzle out the lyrics of the last verse. As my grandomther (a Scottish traveller) taught me it goes:

He is a gypsy, my father, she said,
And Lord of the free lands all over

But it seems there is a version where she denies he is in fact, a gypsy which goes

He's no gypsy, my father, she said,
But a Lord of these lands all over

Can anyone tell me where to find the history of these two versions (if such a thing exists)
Thanks
