The Koobas - Gypsy Fred lyrics

They used to laugh at old Gypsy Fred And the songs he had in his head He sang about the stars and the skies Sang about the truth and the lies No one heard the tales that he told They all said that he was too old Used to call him weak in the head They all laughed at old Gypsy Fred The dogs always snapped at his legs No one would buy Fred's pegs Then they threw him out of the town Said they didn't want him around So he tried the city instead Busking in the streets for his bread Suddenly the Gypsy was in Not to like his songs was a sin He was feeling fifteen feet tall Gypsy Fred could fill any hall But Gypsy Fred was too old to change Found his new life very strange Longed for the fields and the trees Longed for the doors without keys He left the fame Went home again Didn't hear a song in the trees Please don't think it's only the breeze This may be an old man's cry Of love for the earth and the sky La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la, la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la, la la la la la
