There was an old gypsy, battered and worn, He used to be known as a fighting man. Now his fighting days were done - He was knocked around like an old tin can. So terrible was his trashed-up face, When the gypsy stepped outside Young men laughed and children screamed And women in silent pity cried. He had no family, had no friends, Had no kids, had no wife, So he took to the woods, the deep, dark woods To live alone, a hermit's life. He found a place beside a burn Where only the beasts of the forest go, And he built a shack with his bare hands Before the fall of the winter snow.
Gypsy and the Wolf are Matt English and Adam Claxton.
