An English lord came home one night,
Go saddle up my milk -white steed,
go saddle me up my brownie,
And I will ride both night and day,
till I overtake my Bonnie.
Oh, he rode east and he rode west,
and at last he found her.
She was lying on the green,
and the gypsy's arms all around her.
How can you leave your money?
How can you leave your rich young lord
How can you leave your baby?
How can you leave your rich young lord
Oh, come go home with me, my dear.
Come home and be my lover.
I'll furnish you with a room so neat
with a silken bed and covers.
I won't go home with you, sir,
nor will I be your lover.
I care not for your room so neat,
or your silken bed, or your covers.
It's I can leave my house and land,
I'm going to roam this world around
Oh, soon this lady changed her mind.
Her clothes grew old and faded.
Her hose and shoes came off her feet
and left them bare and naked.
Just what befell this lady now?
I think it worth relating.
Her gypsy found another lesson
left her heart a -breaking.
