When I was only seventeen I fell in love with a gypsy queen She told me to hold on Her father was the leadin' man He said you're not welcome on our land Then, as a foe, he told me to go
Aaah
He took me to a little shack And put a whip across my back And told her leave me
I was out for quite a time Came back with her on my mind That sweet little girl she means all the world
Aaah
Ya know 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 man That he'll understand
