Lyrics for The Gypsy Faerie Queen

I'm known by many different names My good friend Will Calls me Puck and Robin Goodfellow I follow the gypsy faerie queen I follow the gypsy faerie queen She walks the length and breadth of England Singing her song, using her wand To help and heal the land And the creatures on it She's dressed in rags of moleskin And wears a crown of Rowan berries on her brow And I follow, follow, follow The gypsy faerie queen We exist, exist, exist In the twilight in-between She bears a blackthorn staff To help her in her walking I only listen to her sing But I never hear her talking Anymore Though once she did Though once she did And I follow, follow, follow My gypsy faerie queen We exist, exist, exist In the twilight in-between And I follow, follow, follow My gypsy faerie queen We exist, exist, exist In the country in-between Me and my gypsy queen
