[G] And we come as humble pilgrims not as beggars [Cm] to your door _
We will fly our trades and talents.
We will take your [G] charity
We may also take your chickens or the apples [Cm] from your tree
[Ab] Or the Earl of Little Egypt [Cm] dines upon the upper crust
[G] But the rest of us will make our way whatever [Cm] way we must
Gypsy dance gypsy [G] sing tinker turn the [Cm] iron like you fiddle on a string gypsy whore gypsy [G] thief

You will bargain with the tinker when you break a [G] wagon wheel
You will buy a horse and swear that you were cheated [Cm] in the deal
