Your rating:
I've cried and worried, all night and I laid and groaned I've cried and worried, all night and I laid and groaned I used to weigh two hundred now I'm down to skin and bones It's all about a man who always kicked and dogged me 'round It's all about a man who always kicked and dogged me 'round And when I try to kill him that's when my love for him comes down I've come to see you gypsy, beggin' on my bended knees I've come to see you gypsy, beggin' on my bended knees That man's put something on me, oh take it off of me, please It starts at my forehead and goes clean down to my toes It starts at my forehead and goes clean down to my toes Oh, how I'm sufferin' gypsy, nobody by the good Lord knows Gypsy, don't hurt him, fix him for me one more time Oh, don't hurt him gypsy, fix him for me one more time Just make him love me, but, please man, take him off my mind
