lirik lagu ken theriot - little egypt
we come from such a distance that you cannot understand
why we bring our laws and customs to this cold and foreign land;
we are exiles for the sins of fathers’ fathers gone before
and we come as humble pilgrims, not as beggars, to your door
we will ply our trades and talents, we will take your charity
we may also take your chickens, or the apples from your tree;
for the earl of little egypt dines upon the upper crust
but the rest of us will make our way, whatever way we must
[chorus] gypsy dance, gypsy sing
tinker, turn the iron like you fiddle on a string;
gypsy wh0re, gypsy thief
move along or you will come to grief
you will bargain with the tinker when you break a wagon wheel
you will buy a horse and swear that you were cheated in the deal;
you will listen to the fortune teller say you will be rich
but on sunday you will pray the lord to save you from the witch
[chorus] gypsy sing, gypsy dance
promise them a future full of riches and romance
gypsy thief, gypsy wh0re
pack your wares, we want you here no more
settled folk will always come to fear the rolling stone
for honest men should stay to reap whatever they have sown;
but we have come to love the road as falcons love the sky
and you that sit beside your hearth will never reckon why
[chorus] gypsy dance, gypsy sing
living never knowing what the morning sun will bring
gypsy wh0re, gypsy thief
family is honor and belief
