Classic Poem

1.

The Gypsy Daisy came riding o'er the plain,
He sang so loud and clearly,
He sang till he made the green woods ring,
And charmed the heart of a Lady.

Refrain

Red Lady dingo, dingo day,
Red Lady dingo, dingo Daisy;
Red Lady dingo, dingo day,
She's away with the Gypsy Daisy.

2.

" Come saddle me my old brown hack,
The gray one is not so speedy,
I'll ride all day, and I'll ride all night,
Till I overtake my Lady. "

3.

He rode till he came to the riverside,
The waters flowed so freely,
The tears down his cheeks did flow,
And then he saw his Lady.

4.

" Could you forsake your house and home,
Could you forsake your baby,
Could you forsake your own wedded Lord,
And go with the Gypsy Daisy? "

5.

" Yes, I'll forsake my house and home,
Yes, I'll forsake my baby,
Yes I'll forsake my own wedded Lord,
And go with the Gypsy Daisy.

6.

" Last night I lay on a bed of down,
The Land Lord lay by me;
To-night I'll lay on the damp cold ground,
Along with the Gypsy Daisy. "
