traveling days









Gypsy





Star Dancer






SultryRose's Signatures






there were gypsies on the sand dunes before Blackpool golden mile was born
there were Gypsies on the lodge hills near Poole when farms were planting corn
there were gypsies in their caravans and in their tents so mean
with lights a burning bright each night all full of kerosene

there were ponies on the hillsides then and donkeys on the sands
there were fairground cars to ride and more with big top traveling bands
those fortune telling ladies on the pier did often stand
with their cards of tarot destiny and with silver in their hands

all the belly dancing ladies and the singing baritones
with the dancing of the festivals and the wagons rolling home
there was work out in the fields then with the fruit picking every day
with the singing of the gypsy gals and guys each working holiday

each year the traveling circus came to call with big top and the clowns
with horses bred and braided well and there was hay upon the downs
the crowds were all a thronging and the lights were shining bright
these were tales to tell your children when the gypsies were in sight

there were  belly dancing ladies with earrings and bright gowns
with their  castanets and tambourines jingly and the  accordion's gay sounds
there were gatherings on the hillsides then and merriment when the traveler's came to call
with their Roma ways and dialect like gents and ladies at a ball
