| Lyrics
Trust him not, oh gentle lady
Although his voice be low and sweet
He'd [...] who kneels before thee
Softly pleading at thy feet
Though thy life is in its morning
Cloud not kissed thy happy lot
Listen to the gypsy's warning
Gentle lady, trust him not
Lady, once there was a maiden
Young and pure, and [...] fair
Yet he wooed, he wooed and won her
Filled her heart with gentle care
Then he heeded not her weeping
He cared not her life to save
Soon she perished, now she's sleeping
In the cold and silent grave
Lady, turn not from me coldly
I have only told the truth
From a stern and [...] sorrow
Lady, I would shield thy youth
I would shield thee from all danger
Shield thee from the tempter's snare
Lady, shun the dark-eyed stranger
I have warned thee, now beware
Take thy gold, I do not want it
Lady, I have prayed for this
For the hour that I would foil him
Rob him of expected bliss
Ah, I see dark filled with wonder
That might look so fierce and wild
Lady, in the churchyard yonder
Lies the gypsy's only child
