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
