The Gypsy's Wife
"The Gypsy’s Wife" is a song written by the Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen that was first released on his sixth studio album ''Recent Songs'' (1979). Live recordings of it appear as the fourth track on ''Field Commander Cohen: Tour of 1979'' (2001) and as the thirteenth track on Cohen’s ''Live in London'' (2009). It continues to feature regularly in his stage performances.
==Theme and lyrics==
The theme of the song is that of sexual infidelity and it is built around the refrain "And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?" It implicitly references the folk-song, which exists in many versions (e.g. The Gypsy Rover, The Black Jack Davy, The Raggle-Taggle Gypsies), of the well-born bride who runs away with the gypsies. In Cohen's version, it is the gypsy himself who comes home looking for his wife and finds her gone.
The song then moves in a more biblical direction, referencing Judith and Holofernes (coloured by details from the stories of Salome and Ruth) in the line "Whose head is this she's dancing with on the threshing-floor?", and later Genesis 7-8, the story of Noah and the Flood.
