BANJARA
Where did you get your pretty little girl?
I did trade her to a maharajah
For a silver stallion, she's a Banjara
She wore a diamond in the nose
Golden rings and in her hair
She had a rose, I took her away on my white mare
Bring back your pretty little girl
Or run to the end of the world
Her brother is getting mad, now run for your life
I ain't gonna run, I ain't gonna hide
I will fight and I'd rather die
Than to give back my true love, my sweet wife
I ain't gonna run, I ain't gonna hide
I'm a free man on this land
With my woman by my side in my caravan
Her brother found us at the break of dawn
I fought him and I won
I heard him moan as he hit the ground, I saw him frown
And as he stood up he told his tribe
Let him go he's one of ours
He can have her now he's my brother, he's a Banjara
I ain't gonna run, I ain't gonna hide
I'm a free man on this land
With my baby by my side in my caravan
And I know it won't be long
Til our son is big and strong
He's got the power and the aura of a Banjara
(Don Cavalli)

Sunny Side Of The Mountain
Now don't forget me little darling while I'm growing old and gray
Just a little thought before I'm going far away
I'll be waiting on the hillside on the day that you will call
On the sunny side of the mountain where the rippling waters fall
Now don't forget about those days we courted many years ago
Don't forget all the promises you gave me and so
I'll be waiting on the hillside on the day that you will call
On the sunny side of the mountain where the rippling waters fall
Please tell me darling in your letter do you ever think of me
Please answer little darling tell me where you can be
It's been so long dear since I've seen you but my love still lingers on
Don't forget me little darling though our love affair seems gone
(Big Slim-Bobby Gregory) American Music-BMI
