The Ozark Mountain Daredevils - Gypsy Forest lyrics

(ACOUSTIC GUITAR INTRO) The dolphins live in the open sea And the gypsies live in the forest While the owls and the crows and the sure foot does Still live like those before us (MANDOLIN DITTY) And the oak and the pine and the sycamore shines And the day spins round like a feather And the sawmill whines and the bluebird dines And the song goes on forever (HARP DITTY) (OBOE SOLO) Now the old folk tell of an ancient bell Somewhere sunk in the meadow But the shepherd there with the snow white hair Just sings in the evening shadows And no one knows where the clear creek goes When the moonlight fades in the forest But the peaco*k screams and the gypsy dreams Of a time gone by before us (OBOE SOLO) Round and a round and a round and a round Round and a round and a round Round and a round and a round and a round Round and a round and a round...
