Bella Hardy - Good Man's Wife Lyrics
I've been loving youLike a soldier in the peacetime waiting for the warWith my heart on the horizon and one eye on the doorI'd swallowed up my prideAnd the tears that made my throat raw, conceded my defeatWhen that sound came to my window so neat and so completeGypsy voices, singingDum...Bought by a man with gold and silver and shoes, and a promise Thought I'd be a good man's wife and life would be completeBut the nights turned cold and the moon changed her face and my temperAnd you looked right through me, like you never knew meI've been loving youLike the frosted trees of winter, waiting for the springBut my heart was sweetly melted when first I heard him singOh my dark eyed gypsyDum...I kicked off my heels and I dressed in leatherAnd I straight ran down the stairs to my true loveHe said “Will you go with me my darling one, my dearie?And I swear Lord Cassilis will ne'er come near thee”What care I for feather beds?'ll be sleeping in the fields for such a love as thisLet Lord Cassilis keep his money, I'll keep my gypsy's kissAnd his soft voice singingDum...
