seven yellow gipsies - shirley collins lyrics

Loading...

there were seven yellow gypsies and all in a row
none of them lame nor lazy*o
and they sang so neat and so complete
they stole the heart of the lady*o

it was late that night when the lord came home
enquiring for his lady*o
and the answer the servants gave to him
“she’s gone away with the seven yellow gypsies*o”

“then saddle me my bonny black horse
the white one’s ne’er so speedy*o
that i may ride on a long summer night
in search of my false lady*o”

so he rode west and he rode west
he rode through wood and copses too
until he came to an open field
and there he saw his lady*o

“would you give up your house and land?
would you give up your baby*o?
would you give up your new*wedded lord?
to run away with the seven yellow gypsies*o?”

“well, what care i for my house and land?
what care i for my baby*o?
sure i wouldn’t give a kiss from a gypsy laddie’s lips
not for all lord cassilis’ money*o”
