The Gypsy Meeting

WHO’S your mother, who’s your father? Do thou answer me in Romany, And I will answer thee.

A Hearne I have for mother! A Cooper for my father! Who’s your father, who’s your mother? I have answer’d thee in Romany, Now do thou answer me.

A Smith I have for father! A Lee I have for mother! True Romans both are we— For I’ve answer’d thee in Romany, And thou hast answer’d me.
