For Bartley Gorman King Of The Gypsies Poem by Dave Alan Walker
For Bartley Gorman King Of The Gypsies
With a silk around his waist
and a boxer's grace
he'd fight for his family
he'd fight for his pride
he'd fight for what is right
he'd fight for his life
He'd fight them all
never lost to no man
all he asked was fair play
Then came St Leger day
a day that changed his life
they tried to cut him down dead
they beat him they cut him
but they couldn't take his soul
A thirty or more gang
for just one man
he was near to death
as they carried him away
a blood bath they all did say
Then it did happen
no one could quite believe
as Bartley Gorman did rise and say
One of you now, one man
no one did take the challenge
as he did say,
Bartley Gorman King of the Gypsies
King of the Gypsies
R.I.P Bartley Gorman
