My gipsy beau my lover
My gipsy beau my lover
Hear the bells above us
Hear the bells above us
We loved passionately
We loved passionately
Thinking none could see us
Thinking none could see us


But we so badly hidden
But we so badly hidden
All the bells in their song
All the bells in their song
Saw from heights of heaven
Saw from heights of heaven
And told it everyone
And told it everyone


Tomorrow Cyprien Henry

The baker’s wife her husband
The baker’s wife her husband
and Gertrude that’s my cousin
and Gertrude that’s my cousin


Will smile when I go by them
Will smile when I go by them
I won’t know where to hide
I won’t know where to hide
You far and I’ll be crying
You far and I’ll be crying
Perhaps I shall be dying
Perhaps I shall be dying

My gipsy beau my lover
Hear the bells above us
We loved passionately
Thinking none could see us

But we so badly hidden
All the bells in their song
Saw from heights of heaven
And told it everyone

Tomorrow Cyprien Henry
Marie Ursule Catherine
The baker’s wife her husband
and Gertrude that’s my cousin

Will smile when I go by them
I won’t know where to hide
You far and I’ll be crying
Perhaps I shall be dying
