Gypsy Forest Lyrics - Ozark Mountain Daredevils

The dolphins live in the open sea 

And the gypsies live in the forest 

While the owls and the crows 

And the sure foot does 

Still live like those before us 

And the oak and the pine 

And the sycamore shines 

And the day spins round like a feather 

And the sawmill whines and the bluebird dines 

And the song goes on forever 

Now the old folk tell of an ancient bell 

Somewhere sunk in the meadow 

But the shepherd there 

With the snow white hair 

Just sings in the evening shadows 

And no one knows where the clear creek goes 

When the moonlight fades in the forest 

But the peacock screams and the gypsy dreams 

Of a time gone by before us
