Roving gypsy boy lyrics - Rankin Family



Autumn leaves are falling
The eagle takes to flight
The open road is a
calling
As day breaks slowly into night
Day breaks slowly into night

The breaking of dawn he stepped in the road
In the soft early morn he
stepped lightly
Humming a song to himself all along
All through the day he
stepped highly
All through the day he stepped highly

They call him the roving gypsy boy
Never choose to stay
They call him
the roving gypsy boy
A rambler in his day
A rambler in his day

Ten thousand miles away from home
Ten thousand miles or more
Ten
thousand miles he chose to roam
Like an eagle he did roam
Coast to coast
and shore to shore

He rose up in the east and he sets for the west
Travelling the whole world
all over
Searching for something that he loves the best
Like a free living
gypsy wild rover
Free living gypsy wild rover

They call him the roving gypsy boy
Never choose to stay
They call him
the roving gypsy boy
A rambler in his day
A rambler in his day

He left the high road to live on the lone
And all different kinds he met
there
Plenty were the good folk many were the foe
But they all were
friends when he left there

There’s a lot more to gain from his living the wealth
There’s a lesson to
learn with devotion
Be kind to all others as well as yourself
Or you’ll
drift like a boat out on the ocean
Drifting like a boat out on the ocean

They call him the roving gypsy boy
Never choose to stay
They call him
the roving gypsy boy
A rambler in his day
A rambler in his day

They call him the roving gypsy boy
Never choose to stay
They call him
the roving gypsy boy
A rambler in his day
A rambler in his day

They call him the roving gypsy boy
Never choose to stay
They call him
the roving gypsy boy
A rambler in his day
A rambler in his day
