    Story Behind the Song
    How many folksingers can claim that their granny really WAS kidnapped by gypsies?

    Lyrics
    My father said I never should
    Dance with the gypsies in the wood
    The wood was dark, the moon shone tin,
    Gypsy lad with a mandolin

    Fa la la lay horo eh, Lady be good
    Too many gypsies in the wood

    I stole my ring for woollen plaid
    Gave the change to my gypsy lad
    With not to offer but kiss and craic
    Tell my father I'll never come back!

    Fa la la lay horo eh, Lady be good
    Too many gypsies in the wood

    Tonight with the gypsies I'll lie down
    The gentry search the country round
    Though I should live to rue this day
    Do as I please and the devil to pay

    Fa la lay horo eh, lady be good
    Too many gypsies in the wood

    My father said I never should
    Dance with the gypsies in the wood
    Bower of green, there's not I lack
    Tell my father I'll never come back!
