[Chorus:]
A gypsy may you become
like a bad penny may you bum
going unwanted hand to hand
that no one keeps because it's damned
Arms crossed that shiver, tryin' not to kill her,
eyes closed are clenching, tryin' not to cry,
he feared he'll soften, maybe forgive her,
door slid wide open, the last goodbye
Get lost filthy woman, get lost into nothing
may you drift and wander like a cursed lost soul
may, good God permitting, each man you'll be loving
may he pay back your love, your love may he pay back,
with betrayal's toll
(chorus)
He kissed the stylish, ebony earring
she left behind her after she's gone
and the plumb black locks he hold endearing
she cut for him once, in times foregone
Not a single glance he spared her upon leaving
nor a sigh he let out, not a mere good-bye,
he slid the door back and to avoid misgiving
he dug his nails deep, his nails he dug deep,
his heart to pry
(chorus)
