Oh Gypsy King Abrahim lived long ago
But he came back to tell us his story of old
To David that prophet
Who God's called to lead
His people from bondage
To a life wild and free

Chorus:
Oh let us be gypsies, let us be free
To travel and tell all the people we see
This caravan is a travelling home
Where the days will be ended for a gypsy to roam

From Russia to Persia then Russia again
Then down to Bulgaria rode ol' Abrahim
Those wild gypsies travel
Led with wagons and mules
Wagons broke, donkeys stalled,
But still onward they moved

[Repeat Chorus]

Big solid wheels, big jugs of wine
And lots of wild women made a gypsy life fine
While the camp fires were burning
They'd sing a love song
But in the morning they'd mount up
And keep travelling on

[Repeat Chorus]

Their enemies many, they lived by the sword
Ever strangers in danger kept them close to the Lord
They traveled for safety,
They traveled to find
Their Paradise lost
Leaving all far behind

[Repeat Chorus two times]
