I was only seventeen I fell in love with a gypsy queen She told me: "Hold on" Her father was the leading man Said: "You're not welcome on our land" And then as a foe, he told me to go
He took me to a little shack And put a whip across my back Then told her: "Leave me" I was out for quite a time Came back with her on my mind Sweet little girl She means all the world
Oh, I want my qypsy queen Will she still be torn between Her father and lover One day I will go to him Strong enough to fight and win The kind of a man That he'll understand
I'm walking in your shadow Ever since you went away And the clock on the wall Really hasn't very much to say Oh, you left me bleeding And left me needing you
In so very many ways I was trying to attract your mind But I'm the lonely one 'Cause I've had to leave it all behind
Lied and deceiving Why should I be grieving you
Ride on a golden wave Set sail for the sun Make every cloud your slave Don't be alone
When I get back from my trip Of the ocean wide Still walking in your shadow And still looking for somewhere to hide
If I am worse off It's all because of you It's all because of you
Well, the very first time I saw you darling Not one single word Would come to my lips
Yes, the very first time I saw you darling Not one single word Would come to my lips
You see, I was so afraid You wouldn't love me I wanna tell you right now I was frightened right down To my fingertips
So baby, when you went away That unlucky day last September I was like a little lost boy In the wilderness Baby baby baby ... When you went away I was like a little lost boy In the wilderness
And I've just been sitting here Thinking of everybody I've ever known Well, you know I still love you the best Yeah, the best
Wake up, set your sights For never shall we fail Stand up for your rights And justice will prevail
You're listening Through endless nights And decision is your goal So wake up, set your sights Oh, the time is right for your role Yeah, or your role
Wake up, wake up, wake up Set your sights Never, never, never Shall we fail Stand up, stand up, stand up For your rights Justice, justice, justice Will prevail
There in the morning Flying over the hills While men are yawning They are crushed by our wills Never have I witnessed People in fear Not like today Not in many a year
Go kill another There are more close behind "No" screams a mother "Are you out of your mind" Though they are shattered They just don't seem to yield Bodies are scattered In all parts of the field
Oh no, did I tell you What would happen if you tried "Oh god, stop this killing!" Said a young man Before he died
I was only seventeen I fell in love with a gypsy queen She told me: "Hold on" Her father was the leading man Said: "You're not welcome on our land" And then as a foe, he told me to go
He took me to a little shack And put a whip across my back Then told her: "Leave me" I was out for quite a time Came back with her on my mind Sweet little girl She means all the world
Oh, I want my qypsy queen Will she still be torn between Her father and lover One day I will go to him Strong enough to fight and win The kind of a man That he'll understand
