I was only seventeen |
|
I fell in love with a Gypsy Queen |
|
She told me, "Hold on" |
|
Her father was the leading man |
|
Said, "You're not welcome on our land " |
|
And then as a foe, he told me to go |
|
He took me to a little shack |
|
And put a whip across my back |
|
Then told her, "Leave me" |
|
I was out for quite a time |
|
Came back with her on my mind |
|
Sweet little girl, she means all the world |
|
Oh, I want my Gypsy Queen |
|
Will she still be torn between |
|
Her father and lover? |
|
One day I will go to him |
|
Strong enough to fight and win |
|
The kind of a man that he'll understand |
