I was only seventeen
I fell in love with a gypsy queen
She told me: 'Hold on'
Her father was the leading man
He 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

Oh, 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 ...
