[00:00.00] There were seven yellow gypsies and all in a row
[00:19.83]And none of them lame nor lazy- O,
[00:23.76]And they sang so sweet and so complete
[00:27.57]That they stole the heart of the lady-O.
[00:31.35]And they sang sweet and they sang shrill
[00:35.46]That fast her tears began to flow,
[00:39.24]And she lay down her silken gown,
[00:42.99]Her golden rings and all her show.
[00:47.04]She plucked off all her highheeled shoen,
[00:50.82]All made of the Spanish leather- O,
[00:54.72]And she would in the street in her bare bare feet
[00:58.59]To run away with the seven yellow gypsies-O.
[01:02.37]They rode north and they rode south,
[01:06.21]And they rode it late and early- O
[01:10.14]Until they come to the river side
[01:14.10]And oh but she was weary-O.
[01:17.46]Says, Last night I rode by the river side
[01:21.99]With me servants all around me- O,
[01:26.01]And tonight I must go with me bare bare feet
[01:29.91]All along with the seven yellow gypsies-O.
[01:48.99]It was late last night when the lord come home
[01:53.70]And his servants they stood ready- O.
[01:57.57]And the one took his boots and the other took his horse,
[02:01.41]But away was his own dear lady-O.
[02:05.07]And when he come to the servants' door
[02:09.12]Enquiring for his lady- O,
[02:13.20]The one she sighed and the other one cried,
[02:16.74]She's away with the seven yellow gypsies-O.
[02:20.19]For I met with a boy and a bonny, bonny boy,
[02:24.09]And they were strange stories he told me- O,
[02:28.38]Of the moon that rose by the river side
[02:32.13]For pack (??) with the seven yellow gypsies -O.
[02:35.31]Go saddle to me my bonny, bonny mare,
[02:39.24]For the brown's not so speedy- O.
[02:43.26]And I will ride for to seek my bride
[02:46.95]Who's run away with the seven yellow gypsies-O.
[03:06.12]Oh he rode north and he rode south,
[03:10.65]And he rode it late and early- O
[03:14.55]Until he come to the river side
[03:18.42]And it was there that he spied his lady -O.
[03:22.83]What makes you leave all your house and your land,
[03:26.61]All your gold and your treasure for to go?
[03:30.54]And what makes you leave your new-wedded lord
[03:34.44]To run away with the seven yellow gypsies-O?
[03:37.89]What care I for me house and me land?
[03:41.73]What care I for me treasure-O?
[03:45.90]And what care I for me new-wedded lord,
[03:49.80]For I'm away with the seven yellow gypsies-O.
[03:53.16]Last night you slept in a goosefeather bed
[03:57.15]With the sheet turned down so bravely- O.
[04:01.08]And tonight you will sleep in the cold barren shed
[04:04.95]All along with the seven yellow gypsies-O.
[04:08.25]What care I for me goosefeather bed
[04:12.27]With the sheet turned down so bravely- O?
[04:16.41]For tonight I will sleep in the cold barren shed
[04:20.19]All along with the seven yellow gypsies-O.
[04:39.27]There were seven yellow gypsies and all in a row,
[04:43.29]None of them lame nor lazy- O.
[04:46.80]And I wouldn't give a kiss from the gypsies' lips
[04:50.46]For all of your land or your money- O.
