Rachel

(Why do they call her evil when she's, oh, so kind and so good?)
My heart belongs to Rachel, the gypsy in the wood

Oh, let us play at hide and seek, one day, she gaily cried
Oh, close your eyes and count to fifty while I go and hide
And if you find me, I will let you have your way with me
And if you can not find me, I'll be right behind that tree

(Why do they call her evil when she's, oh, so kind and so good?)
My heart belongs to Rachel, the gypsy of the wood

She said, Now, if a snake should bite you, don't you worry, scream, or shout
Just send for me, and I'll be there, and I'll suck the poison out
I said, Suppose I sit on one, and it gets me in the end
She said, That's when you'll find out that I'm a real true friend

(Why do they call her evil when she's, oh, so kind and so good?)
My heart belongs to Rachel, the gypsy in the wood

Oh, Rachel, I seen you with your lover down by the cabbage patch
His hair was long and black, and he had fingernails to match
Oh, you promised you would be faithful, but you cheated, and you were untrue
Then, if I had to do it all over again, I'd do it all over you

Now, I know why they call you evil, you're wicked, and you're no good
No more will I see Rachel, the gypsy of the wood
