They p^Dut the pack all on my back, and they d^Gid wish me w^Aell, Then ^DI went up to London, some for^Gtunes f^Aor to t^Dell. ^DSome fortunes for to t^Gell, some fo^Emrtunes for to t^Aell, And ^DI went up to London, some for^Gtunes f^Aor to t^Dell.

^DAs I was a-walking down a f^Gair Lo^Andon st^Dreet, ^DA handsome young s^Gquire I cha^Emnced for to m^Aeet, He vie^Dwed my brown cheeks and he li^Gked them so w^Aell, Says ^Dhe, “My little gypsy girl, can^G you me ^Afortune^D tell? ^DCan you me fortune t^Gell, can ^Emyou me fortune t^Aell,” Says ^Dhe, “My little gypsy girl,^G can you me ^Afortune^D tell?”

^D“Oh sir,“ I replied, “Giv^Ge me fast^A hold of ^Dyour hand. ^DI see you have ri^Gches, and h^Emouses, and la^And, And al^Dl your lovely ladies, you must l^Gay them all as^Aide, I am ^Dthe little gypsy girl that ^Gis to ^Abe your b^Dride, ^DThat is to be your br^Gide, that ^Emis to be your br^Aide, I ^Dam the little gypsy girl that ^Gis to ^Abe your b^Dride.”
