Young Gypsy

By Jeff Rolfzen & Rocky Steen-Rolfzen


Young gypsy young gypsy

You’re no friend to me

You always need something, you’re just like a thief

My home you have plundered now the truth rings like thunder

Young gypsy young gypsy best be on your way

You said you need shelter for an evening or two

But you’ve been in my doors for two whole full moons

I am not a hard man, a bad man, a mean man

But I cannot have you you must be a leavin’

Young gypsy young gypsy

You’re no friend to me

You always need something, you’re just like a thief

My home you have plundered now the truth rings like thunder

Young gypsy young gypsy best be on your way

I’ve been kind I’ve been giving I need no return

Your life seems a lesson that you’ve yet to learn

I gave you my bread let you eat from my pantry

Then you laid in my bed and smoked my last cigarette


Young gypsy young gypsy

You’re no friend to me

You always need something, you’re just like a thief

My home you have plundered now the truth rings like thunder

Young gypsy young gypsy best be on your way


A thief he will rob you and take what you have

Young gypsy will load all they can on their back

And they will walk many miles away from your home

And find the next person to take on their load

You’re no friend to me

You always need something, you’re just like a thief

My home you have plundered now the truth rings like thunder

Young gypsy young gypsy best be on your way

Young gypsy young gypsy best be on your way
