Uriah Heep - Gypsy Lyrics

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 Gypsy 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
