| Sprightly Gypsy Laddie | ||||||||
| "Eagle" | ||||||||

| Eagle is a handsome winsome rough collie pup. He shall be a good draught dog when he is grown. He will also be my collie stud. He is 16 weeks old. Eagle's pedigree Music is "The Gypsy Laddie"which is an 18th century ballad An English lord came home one night, Inquir-ring for his lady, The servants said on every hand, She's gone with the Gypsy Laddie. Go saddle up my milk-white steed, Go saddle me up my brownie And I will ride both night and day, Till I overtake my bonnie. Oh he rode East and he rode West, And at last he found her, She was lying on the green, green grass, And the Gypsy's arms all around her. Oh, how can you leave your house and land? How can you leave our money, How can your leave your rich young lord, To be a gypsy's bonnie. How can you leave your house and land, How can you leave your baby, How can you leave your rich young lord, To be a gypsy's lady. Oh come go home with me, my dear, Come home and be my lover, I'll furnish you with a room so neat, With a silken bed and covers. I won't go home with you, kind sir, Nor will I be your lover, I care not for your rooms so neat, Or your silken bed or your cover. It's I can leave my house and land, And I can leave my baby, I'm a-goin' to roam this world around And be a gypsy's lady. Oh, soon this lady changed her mind, Her clothes grew old and faded, Her hose and shoes came off her feet, And left them bare and naked. Just what befell this lady now, I think it worth relating, Her gypsy found another lass, And left her heart a-breaking. |
