Roving Gypsy Boy Lyrics

Autumn leaves are falling
The eagle takes to flight
The open road is a-calling
As day breaks slowly from night
Day breaks slowly from night
The breaking of dawn he
stepped to the road
In the soft early morn
he stepped lightly
Humming a song to
himself surely-oh

All through the day he
stepped highly
All through the day
he stepped highly

They call him the
roving gypsy boy
He'll 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 soar
Coast to coast
and shore to shore

He rose up in the east
and he set 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
he'll 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 low
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
he'll never choose to stay
They call him
the roving gypsy boy
A rambler in his day
A rambler in his day

Well, they call him
the roving gypsy boy
He'll, never choose to stay
They call him
the roving gypsy boy
A rambler in his day
A rambler in his day
