[Bm]
Wake up and sing [A] me some new love song You've lain here beside me [Bm] all night long
Will you [E] remember, [A] will you return Or leave me to sorrow [Bm] and yearn?
I am a poor [A] boy, I have no gold All I have own [Bm] is an arm and soul
But I will give [A] you the sun and the stars I will show you what [Bm] you are
[A] Nancy, will you come, will you [E] follow after me?
[G] My coach it is waiting, [F#] away we will be Or will [A] you leave your husband's castle,
[E] his land and estate And follow the road and gypsy?
[Bm] Once I was rich [A] as the king with his crown Carriages and coaches [Bm] and servants dressed in brown
But I was [A] robbed by a bold highwayman Left without a penny [Bm] in my hand
And now just like he, a [A] robber I may be Who roams along the highway [Bm] and sleeps among the trees
But I have a heart, [A] true as any lord And more than many can [Bm] afford
[A] No, I will not [E] follow, follow after you [G] Your story is all [F#] lies and your heart it isn't true
[A] I will not leave my husband, [E] his land or estate To follow any road and gypsy

You are a high-born lady, [A] yet with me you have lain Knowing you would never ever [Bm] see me again
So before I go [A] my duty must be paid For all that I have done [C#m] and left [Bm] unsaid
Yes, I will take my payment [A] from the riches that you wear The rings upon your fingers, [Bm] the jewels in your hair
You can keep your husband's castle, [A] his land and estate Farewell, my lady [Bm] Nancy
Nancy,
[A] don't you [E] follow, follow after me [G] For I am a rover and [F#] my heart is fancy free
[A] And now I have your [E] jewels to buy me wooden wine I am the rolling gypsy
