Gypsy

Gypsy

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.

Though 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
