Seven Gypsies - Davy Graham

Seven Gypsies - Davy Graham lyrics

Seven Gypsies stood in a row,
and they sang so sweetly through the air.
They sang so sweet, so very sweet,
they stole the heat of the 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 gyspies-o.
Her young lord came home that night,
inquiring for his lady-o.
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, said the old kichen maid,
She gone with the dark eyed gyspies-o.
He rode east and he rode west,
till he came to a farmers door.
Farmer, farmer tell me the truth,
have you seen the dark eyed gyspies-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 the dark eyed gypsy-o.
Will you forsake you house and land,
will you give up your little son?
will you lie on the cold, cold ground,
in the arms of the dark eyed gypsy-o?
I'll give up my lord she said,
I'll forsake my little son.
i'll eat of the grass and drink of the dew,
and lie with the dark eyed gyspy-o.
