Gypsy lyrics

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
