LADY GYPSY

DAVID BRENT

INTRO:

VERSE:

Am F C G

When I had known only 18 summers.

Am F C G

I headed west through the Whitley Wood.

Am F C G

To make my fortune and find a lover.

Am F C G

And to lead the best life a young man could.

Am F C G

Lie, La, la lie, la la lie.

Am F C G

Oh La la lie, la la lie, la la lie.

VERSE:

Am F C G

And by the lakeside, just south of Didcot.

Am F C G

I spied an angel just standing there.

Am F C G

She was a traveler, but she was pretty

Am F C G

And clean, she was in the water, washing her hair.

CHORUS:

F C G Am

I lost my heart to a lady gypsy.

F C G Am

So long ago, I forget her name.

F C G Am

But I still remember the smell of the flowers

F C G F

And the way, my life, would never be the same.

VERSE:

Am F C G

She laid me down on a bed of heather

Am F C G

She said, please be careful, this is what I sell

Am F C G

I said, you're a hooker she said, no, I mean the heather.

Am F C G

I sell the heather like a lucky spell.

Am F C G

I said huh, but to be clear then the sex is free

Am F C G

She said, yes, the sex is free the heather is a pound.

Am F C G

I said, I don't need no heather and if I did,

Am F C G

I would just pick some it's free it's growing in the ground.

CHORUS:

F C G Am

I lost my heart to a lady gypsy.

F C G Am

So long ago, I forget her name.

F C G Am

But I still remember the smell of the flowers

F C G F

And the way, my life, would never be the same.
