There’s a whistle in the distance

Do you hear it sounding dear

It means my train is coming

I must go soon I fear

But you knew that this would happen

You knew I wouldn’t stay

For to travel on forever

Is my people’s way

There’s a home on yonder hill

Do you see it there my dear

It’s a place where I can res

I can find some safety here

But it’s only for a while

You know I cannot stay

For to travel on forever

Is the gypsy way
