Текст песни: Seven Gypsies + перевод

Seven gypsies stood in a row

And they sang so sweetly throught the air

They sang so sweet, so very sweet

They stole the heart of a lady fair

She stood in her castle high

Smiling on those gypsies-o

A jealous thought came into her mind

She would follow the dark-eyed gypsies-o

Her young lord came home that night

Enquiring for his lady-o

«I'm afraid, i’m afraid,» said the old kitchen maid

«She's gone with the dark-eyed gypsies-o»

He rode east and he rode west

'Til he came to a farmer’s door

«Farmer, farmer tell me the truth

Have you seen the dark-eyed gypsies-o?»

«Ride on, ride on,» the farmer cried

«Down in yonder valley-o

There you’ll find your own true bride

In the arms of a dark-eyed gypsy-o»

«Will you forsake your house and land

Will you give up your little son

Will you lie on the cold cool ground

In the arms of a dark eyed gypsy-o»

«I'll give up, my lord,» she said, «I'll forsake my little son

I’ll eat off the grass and drink of the dew

And lie with the dark eyed gypsy-o»
