Roving Gypsy Boy

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
