 the gypsy poet

gypsy lore and prejudice


Why do they call us pikeys
why do they point and stare
why do they throw their insults
we pretend we don't care

why do they move our homesteads
our gay light vardo vans
why do they taunt us these days
living like the gypsy man

why do they say move on didy
go back to where you belong
take your trailers and your families
and all your gypsy song

wel never understand them
we love the freedom of the road
with our rustic world of sorrows
and our worlds that's all gone cold

they'll build their homes in heath lands
take our country soil
they mimic our joys and sorrows
our life out on the road

its still the same old story
blame it on the crew
move on to old world troubles
from Derry down to Poole

the gypsies get the blame today
like they did in days of old
when they murdered in their thousands
for searching for life's gold

the tales are told in campsites
all across the land
they took away our freedoms
our culture and our lands
