Lyrics
A motley merry crew are we
And to your query, who are we?
Our answer is, just vagabonds
Who would not trade our lot for a bag o’ bonds
Chorus
We follow the trail, the tipsy gipsy trail
Wherever it leads us, o’er mountaintop and vale
The wide world we roam, the boundless earth our home
Our carpet the meadow, our rooftop heaven’s dome
From the hill the whippoorwill is echoing the song
We sing as we march along
Idle tramps and lazy scamps
They call us ev’rywhere
A hell of a lot we care
Just so long as we are footloose and free
Roustabouts! with joyful shouts
We follow the gipsy trail
