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
    Aaah
