Seven Yellow Gypsies - Martin Carthy[00:00:00]
There were seven yellow gypsies and all in a row[00:00:16]
And none of them lame nor lazy oh[00:00:19]
And they sang so sweet and so complete[00:00:23]
That they stole the heart of the lady oh[00:00:27]
And they sang sweet and they sang shrill[00:00:31]
That fast her tears began to flow[00:00:35]
And she lay down her silken gown[00:00:39]
Her golden rings and all her show[00:00:43]
She plucked off all her highheeled shoen[00:00:47]
All made of the Spanish leather oh[00:00:50]
And she would in the street in her bare bare feet[00:00:54]
To run away with the seven yellow gypsies oh[00:00:58]
They rode north and they rode south[00:01:02]
And they rode it late and early oh[00:01:06]
Until they come to the river side[00:01:10]
And oh but she was weary oh[00:01:14]
Says last night I rode by the river side[00:01:17]
With me servants all around me oh[00:01:22]
And tonight I must go with me bare bare feet[00:01:26]
All along with the seven yellow gypsies oh[00:01:29]
It was late last night when the Lord come home[00:01:49]
And his servants they stood ready oh[00:01:53]
And the one took his boots and the other took his horse[00:01:57]
But away was his own dear lady oh[00:02:01]
And when he come to the servants' door[00:02:05]
Enquiring for his lady oh[00:02:09]
The one she sighed and the other one cried[00:02:13]
She's away with the seven yellow gypsies oh[00:02:16]
For I met with a boy and a bonny bonny boy[00:02:20]
And they were strange stories he told me oh[00:02:24]
Of the moon that rose by the river side[00:02:27]
For pack with the seven yellow gypsies oh[00:02:31]
Go saddle to me my bonny bonny mare[00:02:35]
For the brown's not so speedy oh[00:02:39]
And I will ride for to seek my bride[00:02:43]
Who's run away with the seven yellow gypsies oh[00:02:46]
Oh he rode north and he rode south[00:03:06]
And he rode it late and early oh[00:03:10]
Until he come to the river side[00:03:14]
And it was there that he spied his lady oh[00:03:18]
What makes you leave all your house and your land[00:03:22]
All your gold and your treasure for to go[00:03:26]
And what makes you leave your new wedded Lord[00:03:30]
To run away with the seven yellow gypsies oh[00:03:34]
What care I for me house and me land[00:03:37]
What care I for me treasure oh[00:03:42]
And what care I for me new wedded Lord[00:03:45]
For I'm away with the seven yellow gypsies oh[00:03:49]
Last night you slept in a goosefeather bed[00:03:53]
With the sheet turned down so bravely oh[00:03:57]
And tonight you will sleep in the cold barren shed[00:04:01]
All along with the seven yellow gypsies oh[00:04:04]
What care I for me goosefeather bed[00:04:08]
With the sheet turned down so bravely oh[00:04:12]
For tonight I will sleep in the cold barren shed[00:04:16]
All along with the seven yellow gypsies oh[00:04:20]
There were seven yellow gypsies and all in a row[00:04:39]
None of them lame nor lazy oh[00:04:43]
And I wouldn't give a kiss from the gypsies' lips[00:04:46]
For all of your land or your money oh[00:04:50]
