Scope Note:

Lyrics on verso:

He danced and sang the jocund song

Upon the forest green

And naught but mirth and jollity

Around us could be seen;

And there we passed a pleasant time

No thought of care or woe

In the days when we went Gipsiying

A long time ago

In the days when we went Gipsiying

A long time ago.

All hearts were light and eyes were bright

While nature's face was gay

The trees their leafy branches spread

And perfume filled the way

Twas there we heard the cuckoos note

Steal softly through the air

While every scene around us looked

Most beautiful and clear.

Chorus as above.
