Roving Gypsy Boy (remix) Lyrics - Rankin Family

Autum leaves are falling 

The egale takes to flight 

The open road is a'calling 

As day breaks slowly from the night 

Day breaks slowly from the night 

At the breaking of dawn he stepped to the road 

In the soft early morn he stepped lightly 

Humming a song to himself surely owed 

And all through the day he stepped hightly 

All through the day he stepped highly 

They call him the roving gypsy boy 

He'll never choose to stay 

They call him the roving gypsy boy 

A rambler in his day 

A rambler in his day 

Ten thousand miles away from home 

Ten thousand miles or more 

Ten thousand miles he chose to roam 

Like an egale he did soar 

Coast to coast and shore to shore 

He rose up in the east and set for the west 

Travelling the whole world all over 

Searching for something that he loved the best 

Like a free living gypsy wild rover 

A free living gypsy wild rover 

They call him the roving gypsy boy 

He'll never choose to stay 

They call him the roving gypsy boy 

A rambler in his day 

A rambler in his day 

He left the high road to live on the low 

And all different kinds he met there 

Plenty were the good folk 

Many were the foe 

But they all were his friends when he left there 

There's a lot more to gain from this living than wealth 

There's a lesson to learn with devotion 

Be kind to all others as well as yourself 

Or you'll drift like a boat out on the ocean 

Drifting like a boat out on the ocean 

They call him the roving gypsy boy 

He'll never choose to stay 

They call him the roving gypsy boy 

A rambler in his day 

A rambler in his day 

They call him the roving gypsy boy 

He'll never choose to stay 

They call him the roving gypsy boy 

A rambler in his day 

A rambler in his day
