Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: Seven Yellow Gypsies (Nic Jones)
Subject: Lyr Add: SEVEN YELLOW GYPSIES (from Nic Jones)
I spoke to Rufus who does the Nic Jones web page and he has a re-vamped site in beta which he has just uploaded and virtually all the Nic Jones lyrics are now transcribed from the albums. It is here and the only snag is it is now frames/javascript and requires 1024X728 resolution. From it these are the Gypsy lyrics:

SEVEN YELLOW GYPSIES

There were seven gypsies all of a row
And they sang neat and bonny-Oh
Sang so neat and they're so complete
They stole the heart of a lady

She's kicked off her high heel shoes
Made of a Spanish leather
And she's put on an old pair of brouges
To follow the gypsy laddie

Late at night her lord come home
And he's enquiring for his lady
And his servant's down on his knees and said
She's away with the seven gypsies

He's ridden o'er the high high hills
Till he come to the morning
And there he's found his own dear wife
And she's in the arms of the seven gypsies

Well, last night I slept in a feather bed
And the sheets and the blankets around me
Tonight I slept in the cold open fields
In the arms of me seven gypsies

Seven gypsies all of a row
And they sang neat and bonny-Oh
Sang so neat that they all were hanged
For the stealing of a famous lady
