Lyrics
Gypsy Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I go down to the harbour,
Watch the boats go out to sea
I sometimes wish that one was takin' me
I could hide down in a lifeboat
Watch the fishes jump for joy
Life's so easy for a gypsy boy
A man who carries nothin' but the hat upon his head
Is a man with nothin' cloudin' up his mind
The only kind of work he likes
Is not to be employed
Life's so easy for a gypsy boy
But if you're just a gypsy in your heart
And it's hidin' in an undiscovered part
You can watch the boats go by
And float downstream
You still can be a gypsy in your dreams
When I go down to the harbour
Watch the boats go out to sea
I sometimes wish that one was takin' me
But it don't really matter
It's just a fancy I enjoy
Life's so easy for a gypsy boy
