GYPSY HEART
by Jack Rhodes, Dick Reynolds and Lucille Dean
(recorded spring 1953)


Oh gypsy heart when you hear the whistle of a train
You forget the promises you made down in lover's lane
You forget the kisses warm
The way you held her in your arms
You forget the way you thrilled her heart
With all your gypsy charms

Oo-oo-oh, hear the whistle blow
Oo-oo-oh, away, away you go?
Gypsy heart oh you want love
But not the settle kind
You'll be the death of me, oh gypsy heart of mine.

I met a girl in Birmingham with eyes so big and blue
I loved her 'til she said I cannot roam m'dear with you
She said I want a little home
A heart to love, and not to roam
I'm sure someday you'll find your own
A gypsy heart like you

Oo-oo-oh, hear the whistle blow
Oo-oo-oh, away, away you go?
Up 'til the now the girls we've loved
Have all been very smart
They know even the chains of love
Can't bind a gypsy heart

Gypsy heart the wind that blows from far across the sea
Calls to you "oh come along there's pretty things to see"
In Ireland there are fair colleens
And songs of love we know
And lovely ladies down in Spain
Oh gypsy heart let's go

Oo-oo-oh, hear the whistle blow
Oo-oo-oh, where will you go?
There's been two of everything
Since Noah sailed his ark
So we'll keep roamin' 'til we find
Another gypsy heart.
