The Gypsy by Billy Reid played on chromatic harmonica.

"The Gypsy" is a popular song. It was written by Billy Reid, and published in 1945.

"The Gypsy" was originally introduced in the United Kingdom by Reid's orchestra and vocalist Dorothy Squires. In the United States, the song was recorded by The Ink Spots, by Dinah Shore, and by Sammy Kaye's orchestra, becoming a hit for all three.

The Gypsy was also recorded by Charlie Parker on July 29, 1946, during the famous "Lover" session after which he was committed to the California state mental hospital at Camarillo.

A more recent version, by legendary Memphis record producer and performer Jim Dickinson was included in his 1997 live recording "1000 Footsteps in the Sand", recorded in 1992.

  • @7643211 In a quaint caravan There's a lady they call The Gypsy She can look in the future And drive away all your fears Everything will come right If you only believe The Gypsy She could tell at a glance That my heart was so full of tears She looked at my hand and told me My lover was always true And yet in my heart I knew, dear Somebody else was kissing you But I'll go there again 'Cause I want to believe The Gypsy That my lover is true And will come back to me some day
