“The Two Gypsy Girls”

Description

Dandling song. Two pretty Gypsy girls, Hat and Kate, go hawking with bundles on their backs and babies at their breasts. The boys sing, "He's a gay old singer/Here comes the galloping major"

Notes

This seems to be derived from a music-hall song, "The Galloping Major." - PJS
