The Gipsy's Warning

A very old song dating way back to 1865. Presented in Stunning HD Quality
Lyrics:
Do not trust him gentle lady,
Though his voice be low and sweet
Heed not him who kneels before you
Gently pleading at your feet
Now thy life is in its morning
Cloud not this thy happy lot
Listen to the gipsy’s warning
Gentle lady, trust him not
Listen to the gipsy’s warning
Gentle lady, trust him not
Do not turn so coldly from me
I would only guard thy youth
From his stern and writhing power
I would only tell thee truth
I would shield thee from all danger
Save thee from the tempter’s snare
Lady shun that dark-eyed stranger
I have warned thee, now beware
Lady shun that dark-eyed stranger
I have warned thee, now beware
Lady, once there lived a maiden
Pure and bright, and like thee, fair
But he swooned and wooed and won her
Filled her gentle heart with care
Then he heeded not her weeping
Nor cared he, her life to save
Soon she perished, now she’s sleeping
In the cold and silent grave
Soon she perished, now she’s sleeping
In the cold and silent grave
Keep thy gold, I do not wish it
Lady I have prayed for this
For the hour when I might foil him
Rob him of expected bliss
Gentle lady do not wonder
At my words so cold and wild
Lady in that green grave yonder
Lies the gipsy’s only child
Lady, in that green grave yonder
Lies the gipsy’s only child
