《Seven Yellow Gypsies》歌词

[00:00:00] Seven Yellow Gypsies - Martin Carthy

[00:00:16] There were seven yellow gypsies and all in a row

[00:00:19] And none of them lame nor lazy oh

[00:00:23] And they sang so sweet and so complete

[00:00:27] That they stole the heart of the lady oh

[00:00:31] And they sang sweet and they sang shrill

[00:00:35] That fast her tears began to flow

[00:00:39] And she lay down her silken gown

[00:00:43] Her golden rings and all her show

[00:00:47] She plucked off all her highheeled shoen

[00:00:50] All made of the Spanish leather oh

[00:00:54] And she would in the street in her bare bare feet

[00:00:58] To run away with the seven yellow gypsies oh

[00:01:02] They rode north and they rode south

[00:01:06] And they rode it late and early oh

[00:01:10] Until they come to the river side

[00:01:14] And oh but she was weary oh

[00:01:17] Says last night I rode by the river side

[00:01:22] With me servants all around me oh

[00:01:26] And tonight I must go with me bare bare feet

[00:01:29] All along with the seven yellow gypsies oh

[00:01:49] It was late last night when the Lord come home

[00:01:53] And his servants they stood ready oh

[00:01:57] And the one took his boots and the other took his horse

[00:02:01] But away was his own dear lady oh

[00:02:05] And when he come to the servants' door

[00:02:09] Enquiring for his lady oh

[00:02:13] The one she sighed and the other one cried

[00:02:16] She's away with the seven yellow gypsies oh

[00:02:20] For I met with a boy and a bonny bonny boy

[00:02:24] And they were strange stories he told me oh

[00:02:27] Of the moon that rose by the river side

[00:02:31] For pack with the seven yellow gypsies oh

[00:02:35] Go saddle to me my bonny bonny mare

[00:02:39] For the brown's not so speedy oh

[00:02:43] And I will ride for to seek my bride

[00:02:46] Who's run away with the seven yellow gypsies oh

[00:03:06] Oh he rode north and he rode south

[00:03:10] And he rode it late and early oh

[00:03:14] Until he come to the river side

[00:03:18] And it was there that he spied his lady oh

[00:03:22] What makes you leave all your house and your land

[00:03:26] All your gold and your treasure for to go

[00:03:30] And what makes you leave your new wedded Lord

[00:03:34] To run away with the seven yellow gypsies oh

[00:03:37] What care I for me house and me land

[00:03:42] What care I for me treasure oh

[00:03:45] And what care I for me new wedded Lord

[00:03:49] For I'm away with the seven yellow gypsies oh

[00:03:53] Last night you slept in a goosefeather bed

[00:03:57] With the sheet turned down so bravely oh

[00:04:01] And tonight you will sleep in the cold barren shed

[00:04:04] All along with the seven yellow gypsies oh

[00:04:08] What care I for me goosefeather bed

[00:04:12] With the sheet turned down so bravely oh

[00:04:16] For tonight I will sleep in the cold barren shed

[00:04:20] All along with the seven yellow gypsies oh

[00:04:39] There were seven yellow gypsies and all in a row

[00:04:43] None of them lame nor lazy oh

[00:04:46] And I wouldn't give a kiss from the gypsies' lips

[00:04:50] For all of your land or your money oh
