w:Win-ter, sum-mer what care I, Heigh ho, heigh--de-ho.
W:I'm the gipsy of the vale,
W:Caravan a-mong the mountains,
W:Ev'ry day a new encampment,
W:On the banks beside the stream.
W:Winter, summer what care I,
W:Heigh ho, heigh-de-ho.

W:if the wind turns from the south,
W:Easy 'tis to change our lair.
W:Clap my rested mare in harness,
W:Journey on to warmer quarters.
W:There find Paradise for three,
W:Romany and Ruth and me.
W:Heigh-ho, heigh-de-ho.
W:
W:Lean the purse in which we share,
W:But a better time will come,
W:To old maids I'll tell good fortunes,
W:And my basket full I'll sell them,
W:Then again to Romany,
W:The caravan so dear to me.
W:Heigh-ho, heigh-de-ho.
