LITTLE GYPSY GIRL Sung by: Mrs. Ben Johnson Recorded in Cave City, AR 8/27/57 Click here to listen to the original recording My home is everywhere. I wander in the shady lane And never know a care. They tell me it is wrong To idle life away, But what care I for what they say? Forest is my home, And there I love to roam, For I am a little gypsy girl. I'm a gypsy, I'm a gypsy, Oh, I am a little gypsy girl. The forest is my home, And there I love to roam, For I am a little gypsy girl. The birds in springtime build their nest, The little flowers grow; I watch them all the sunny day, And all their secrets know. The forest is my home, And there I love to roam, For I am a little gypsy girl. (Mrs. Johnson: "I just can't, you know, I just . . . I guess I made a mess of that." Dr. Wolf: "No, there wasn't anything wrong . . .") |
