Seven Yellow Gypsies

There were Seven Yellow Gypsies All in a row None of them lame or lazy oh And they sang so neat and so complete That they stole the heart of the lady oh It was late at night when the lord came home Enquiring for his lady oh I'm afraid I'm afraid said the old kitchen maid She's gone away with seven yellow gypsies oh So saddle me up my bonny black horse The white ones n'er so speedy oh And how we'll ride in the long summer night In search of my false lady oh So, he rode west and he rode best He rode the woods and coolies-o Until he came to an open field There he found his lady oh Would you give up your house and land? Would you give your baby oh? Would you give up your new wedded lord? And go away with the seven yellow gypsies oh Oh what do I care for my house and land? What care I for my baby oh? Sure I wouldn't give a kiss from a gypsy's laddie's lips For Lord Cassillis' money oh There were Seven Yellow Gypsies All in a row None of them lame or lazy oh And they sang so neat and so complete That they stole the heart of the lady oh
