Do not trust him, gentle
lady, though his voice
be low and sweet,
Heed not him who kneels
before you, gently
pleading at thy feet.
Now thy life is in its
morning, blight not
this, thy happy lot,
Listen to the gypsy's
warning, gentle lady
trust him not,
Listen to the gypsy's
warning, gentle lady
trust him not.
Do not
turn so coldly from me,
I would only guard thy
youth,
From his stern and
withering powers, I
would only tell the
truth.
I would shield thee from
all danger, shield thee
from the tempter's care,
Lady, shun that dark
eyed stranger, I have
warned thee, now beware,
Lady, shun that dark
eyed stranger, I have
warned thee, now beware.
