Nic Jones - Seven Yellow Gypsies lyrics

There were seven gypsies all of a row And they sang neat and bonny-O; Sang so neat and they're so complete, They stole the heart of a lady. She's kicked off her high heel shoes Made of the Spanish leather, And she's put on an old pair of brogues To follow the gypsy laddie. Late at night her lord come home And he's enquiring for his lady. And his servant's down on his knees and said, "She's away with the seven gypsies." He's ridden o'er the high, high hills Till he come to the morning, And there he's found his own dear wife And she's in the arms of the seven gypsies. "Well, last night I slept in a feather bed And the sheets and the blankets around me; Tonight I slept in the cold open fields In the arms of my seven gypsies." Seven gypsies all of a row And they sang neat and bonny-O; Sang so neat that they all were hanged For the stealing of a famous lady.
