[00:16.039]There were seven yellow gypsies and all in a row
[00:19.972]And none of them lame nor lazy oh
[00:23.678]And they sang so sweet and so complete
[00:27.726]That they stole the heart of the lady oh
[00:31.437]And they sang sweet and they sang shrill
[00:35.594]That fast her tears began to flow
[00:39.274]And she lay down her silken gown
[00:43.143]Her golden rings and all her show
[00:47.036]She plucked off all her highheeled shoen
[00:50.960]All made of the Spanish leather oh
[00:54.788]And she would in the street in her bare bare feet
