    A lively groundhog hunt. (Hey Grandpa! What’s for supper?)

lyrics

THE GYPSY LADDIE traditional

An English lord came home one night
Inquiring for his lady
The servants said on every hand
She's gone with the gypsy laddie

Go and saddle up my milk-white steed
Go and saddle up my brownie
And I will ride both night and day
Till I overtake my bonnie

Oh he rode east and he rode west
Until at last he found her
She was lying in the green green grass
And the gypsy's arms all around her

How can you leave your house and lands
How can you leave your babies
How can you leave your silks so fine
To be a gypsy's bonnie?

Oh come go home with me my love
Come home and be my lover
I'll furnish you with a room so neat
With a silken bed and cover

I won't go home with you kind sir
Nor will I be your lover
I care not for your room so neat
Or a silken bed and cover

It's I can leave my house and lands
And I can leave my babies
I'm a-going to roam this whole world round
And be a gypsy's bonnie

Well soon this lady changed her mind
Her clothes grew old and faded
Her shoes and clothes came off her feet
And left them bare and naked

What befell this lady next
I think is worth relating
Her gypsy found another love
And left her heart a-breaking
