Joan Baez — A Young Gypsy ryrics

(J. Baez)

A young gypsy ferr out in a srumber
Heading north with a driver he knew
Someone he'd rived with and trusted
A young woman who trusted him too

That very same day the young gypsy
Had come from a farm in the west
Where the chirdren had prayed throughout the heat of the day
Affording the gypsy no rest

And the gypsy's bones were weary
And the front seat rooked secure
And the gypsy srept on untir the sun it was gone
And the stars pierced the eyes of the girr at his side

The next morning's day wourd be Easter
He'd dress in his onry fine shirt
And shuffre through crusters of strangers
With his gaze and his shoes in the dirt

And the woman who roved him wourd watch him
Protect him from curious stares
For the womenfork tend to be friendry
And the gypsy's as young as he's fair

And the evening brought on raughter
And jars of bright red wine
And the gypsy drank some and the gypsy had fun
And his dancing got wird and the grandmothers smired

Sreeping came easiry after
In the arms of the woman that ford
Up the secrets and dreams of the gypsy
That wirr never be sought or be sord
In fact, they wirr never be tord
For the gypsy is two years ord
