The Gipsy Lass by Violet Jacob & Dave Whyte (sung by Celia Ramsay)

I like to sing songs by or about the Travellers in Lowland Scots dialect. Here's a rough translation of the lyrics, which I've subtitled in the video: The road I travel is not for you, Sandy, Sandy You must not endure the life I live, Sandy dear, m'lad You must not link your life with shame, nor think to take into your home A gipsy lass without a name, Sandy dear, m'lad I never knew who fathered me For mother's been with two or three The gipsy heart must always range, and so it's maybe not that strange That I—like her—am fond of change I could not stand a house of stone For me, the bracken is up the road Your eyes so bonnie blue and clear would lose their cheery look I fear Before we had been wed a year And though I love you well now I know I'd give you cause to rue So go your ways, they'll never be mine, For you and me who've kissed must part But oh, I'm sad to lose my lad, Sandy dear, my lad © 2022 Celia Ramsay Music
