I was only seventeen
And fell in love with a gypsy queen
She told me: "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 shark
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
Sweet little girl
She means all the world
Aaah
You 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
Aaah
Aaah
Aaah
Aaah
