Beggars To God Lyrics - Singles - Rogers Sally

BEGGARS TO GOD 

(Bob Franke) 

The song of Gypsy Davy rang 

Delighted through the night 

The wise and foolish virgin 

Kept her candles burning bright 

Rise up my young and foolish one 

And follow if you can, 

There'll be no need for candles 

In the arms of such a man. 

Make love to each other 

Be free with each other 

Be prisoners of love 'til you lie in the sod 

Be friends to each other 

Forgive one another 

See God in each other 

Be beggars to God. 

The night was cold and dark and wet 

As they wandered on alone. 

The sky became their canopy 

The earth became their throne 

And as their raiment ran to rags 

They thought it nothing wrong 

For earth and sky are robe enough 

When you sing the gypsy song. 

They sang and played the gypsy song 

Wherever they were sent 

To some it seemed a dancing tune 

To some a sad lament. 

But in every heart that heard them true 

A tear became a smile 

And the pauper or a prince 

Became the gypsy for awhile.
