Maria Daines ~ The Gypsy Queen

’The Gypsy Queen’ Out with the old, in with the new Damn sure glad to see the back of you Old year, took the best and more Good riddance, over and out the door Raise your glass to absent friends This is how we make amends I’ll sweep you out like dust and dirt You ain’t gonna stay in this heart full of hurt Go find a new love and play cards for gold I’m the gypsy queen and your fortune has been told You’re in the bar where dreams go to die Tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye Chance would be so fine if your luck was in But it’s out and I don’t know where you’ve been So take a sip of kindness for Auld Lang Syne You’ve been loved by the gypsy queen Rough as a diamond, I took you on sight Don’t know why, must have been spite Now the let down is blue and the roses are red Take that crown off your beautiful head Don’t mind if I don’t and I don’t mind if I do There’s always someone waiting to fill such big shoes A rogue is a rogue by any other name And candles only burn when you’ve lit the flame Chance would be so fine if your luck was in But it’s out and I don’t know where you’ve been So take a sip of kindness for Auld Lang Syne You’ve been loved by the gypsy queen © Maria Daines/Paul Killington 21st November 2020 Our thanks to Lockenfrosch for the perfect picture.
