^CMy father's the king of the gy^Fpsies, ^Git is t^Crue, ^CMe mother, she lea^Frned me some ca^Dmmping for to ^Gdo. They p^Cut the pack all on my back, and they d^Fid wish me w^Gell, Then ^CI went up to London, some for^Ftunes f^Gor to t^Cell. ^CSome fortunes for to t^Fell, some fo^Dmrtunes for to t^Gell, And ^CI went up to London, some for^Ftunes f^Gor to t^Cell.

^CAs I was a-walking down a f^Fair Lo^Gndon st^Creet, ^CA handsome young s^Fquire I cha^Dmnced for to m^Geet, He vie^Cwed my brown cheeks and he li^Fked them so w^Gell, Says ^Che, “My little gypsy girl, can^F you me ^Gfortune^C tell? ^CCan you me fortune t^Fell, can ^Dmyou me fortune t^Gell,” Says ^Che, “My little gypsy girl,^F can you me ^Gfortune^C tell?”

^C“Oh sir,“ I replied, “Giv^Fe me fast^G hold of ^Cyour hand. ^CI see you have ri^Fches, and h^Dmouses, and la^Gnd, And al^Cl your lovely ladies, you must l^Fay them all as^Gide, I am ^Cthe little gypsy girl that ^Fis to ^Gbe your b^Cride, ^CThat is to be your br^Fide, that ^Dmis to be your br^Gide, I ^Cam the little gypsy girl that ^Fis to ^Gbe your b^Cride.”

^CHe led me through woods and through va^Flleys gr^Geen, I'm s^Cure, ^CWhere he had got ser^Fvants to o^Dmpen up the d^Goor On the^C softest bed of down then se^Frved me so w^Gell That ^Cin nine months after his for^Ftune ^GI did t^Cell. ^CHis fortune I did t^Fell, his fo^Dmrtune I did t^Gell, That ^Cin nine months after his for^Ftune ^GI did t^Cell.
