Intro: Am 

Verse:  
Am           F       C    G 
When I had known only 18 summers. 
Am        F          C             G 
I headed west through the Whitley Wood. 
Am          F         C        G 
To make my fortune and find a lover. 
        Am       F       C             G          
And to lead the best life a young man could. 
 Am          F          C   G     
Lie, La, la lie, la la lie. 
          Am         F         C    G 
Oh La la lie, la la lie, la la lie. 


Verse: 
Am           F      C               G 
And by the lakeside, just south of Didcot. 
Am          F        C           G 
I spied an angel just standing there. 
Am          F      C             G 
She was a traveler, but she was pretty 
     Am            F            C             G 
And clean, she was in the water, washing her hair. 


F          C        G     Am 
I lost my heart to a lady gypsy. 
F         C     G          Am 
So long ago, I forget her name. 
       F       C          G            Am  
But I still remember the smell of the flowers 
         F       C           G            F 
And the way, my life, would never be the same. 


Verse: 
Am           F       C        G 
She laid me down on a bed of heather 
        Am           F              C        G 
She said, please be careful, this is what I sell 
      Am          F               C               G 
I said, you're a hooker she said, no, I mean the heather. 
Am          F     C              G 
I sell the heather like a lucky spell. 
       Am              F        C            G 
I said huh, but to be clear then the sex is free 
          Am               F  C                  G 
She said, yes, the sex is free the heather is a pound. 
        Am               F     C          G 
I said, I don't need no heather and if I did, 
             Am              F          C              G 
I would just pick some it's free it's growing in the ground. 



F          C        G     Am 
I lost my heart to a lady gypsy. 
F         C     G          Am 
So long ago, I forget her name. 
       F       C           G           Am  
But I still remember the smell of the flowers 
         F       C           G            F 
And the way, my life, would never be the same.
