Gypsies dance


Little baby go to sleep

close your eyes to see.

Everyone will tell you so

watch the Gypsies dance.

See their flowing skirts

hear the jingling of bells.

Everyone will tell you so

watch the Gypsies dance.

 

Little baby go to sleep

I'll be here through the night.

Everyone will tell you so 

watch the Gypsies dance.

Hear their luring song

feel the steady beat.

Everyone will tell you so

watch the Gypsies dance.

 

Little baby go to sleep

and If i'm not here when you wake,

close your eyes

my dearest child

to watch the Gypsies dance.
