Heather Lucky Heather

Heather. Lucky heather . I can still hear her Irish tone Heather, Lucky heather This beautiful gypsy stood alone . Her raven hair cascading like a midnight waterfall Heather, Lucky heather In the market place she calls . Her emerald eyes smiling As I stop so I might buy Heather, Lucky heather Once again I hear her cry . She giggles at my teasing When I purchase her lucky charm Heather , Lucky heather Please let this beautiful gypsy take my arm. I took her home to meet my parents I heard the warnings that they gave A Romany is a Romany From the cradle to the grave One day she'll up and leave you Heading for another town Heather , Lucky heather Help my gypsy to settle down . Ten years we were together Ten years i'll never forget My beautiful Irish gypsy I'm so happy that we met . Then she heard her people calling From across the Irish sea Heather , Lucky heather Help me to set her free . I have loved her for so long Now it is time for us to part She is leaving with the key That will always unlock my heart. I know we'll meet again some day She is part of my destiny Heather , Lucky heather Watch over her for me . Let her know how much I love her Whisper to her every day Tell me if she should need me and i'll soon be on my way Let her slow dance with her new lover In the most beautiful moonlight Heather . Lucky heather Let her walk in gods sweet light.
