"The Gypsy Rover"...

The core of the song's story is that a lady forsakes a life of luxury to run off with a band of gypsies. In some versions there is one individual, named Johnny Faa or Black Jack Davy, whereas in others there is one leader and his six brothers. In some versions the lady is identified as Margaret Kennedy, the wife of the Scottish Earl of Cassilis. In a typical version, the lord comes home to find his lady "gone with the gypsy laddie". Sometimes this is because the gypsies have charmed her with their singing or even cast a spell over her. He saddles his fastest horse to follow her. He finds her and bids her come home, asking "Would you forsake your husband and child?" She refuses to return, in many versions, preferring the cold ground, stating, "What care I for your goose feather bed?", and the gypsy's company to her lord's wealth and comfortable life. At the end of some versions, the husband kills the gypsies. In the local Cassilis tradition, they are hanged on the Cassilis Dule Tree. --- Wikpedia. ...In the above version the "gypsy rover' is actually the lord of the region. But, in another version he really is a gypsy. The last verse of that version goes: "Last night she slept on a feather bed with silk and velvet cover... Tonight she sleeps in the cold open field, beside her gypsy lover."
