Time, you old gypsy man
Will you not stay
Put up your caravan
Just for one day?

All things I'll give you
Will you be my guest
Bells for your jennet
Of silver the best
Goldsmiths shall beat you
A great golden rings
Peacocks shall bow to you
Little boys sing
Oh, and sweet girls will
Festoon you with may

Time, you old gypsy
Why hasten away?
Last week in Babylon
Last night in Rome
Morning, and in the crush
Under Paul's dome;
Under Paul's dial
You tighten your rein-
Only a moment
And off once again;
Off to some city
Now blind in the womb
Off to another
Ere that's in the tomb
Time, you old gypsy man
Will you not stay
Put up your caravan
Just for one day?
