  1. A Song

    There came from the East three gigsy gangs, And they were singing O.

    There came from the East three gigsy gangs, And they were singing O.
    They sang so sweet so very sweet
    That they charmed the heart of that lady O.
    Then Charley came home late at night
    Inquired for his lady O,
    She is gone, she is gone said his own servant maid.
    And she followed in the dark eyed gipsy O.

    Then saddle for my my milk white steed
