"The Gypsey's Warning" by Emile Haeberle (1868) by ETC-TET published on 2017-02-07T04:39:58Z The amazing voice talent is from Joli, a kind and loving Hungarian, with some experience with Gypsey's from her time living in Europe. Music is from various lost recordings including Russian gypsy violin and some crooning from the early 60s. The Gypsey’s Warning Trust him not O gentle lady, Though his voice be low and sweet: Heed him not whom kneels before thee, Gently pleading at thy feet. Now life is in it’s morning Cloud not thy happy lot, Listen to the gypsey’s warning, Gentle lady trust him not. Lady once there lived a maiden Young and pure, and bright, and fair. But he wooed he moved and won her, Filled her gentle heart with care. Then he heeded not her weeping, Nor cared he her life to save, Soon she perished, now she’s sleeping In that cold and silent grave. Lady turn not from me coldly, I have told you, but the truth; From a term of withering sorrow, Lady I would shield thy youth. I would shield thee from all danger. Shield thee from the tempers snare Lady shun that dark eyed stranger I have warned you now beware Lady shun that dark eyed stranger I have warned you now beware Keep your gold I do not want it Lady I have prayed for this For the hour that I might foil him Rob him of expected bliss Ah I see thy looks of wonder At my looks, so fierce and wild Lady in that church yard yonder Lies this gypsy’s only child.
