I had a wife, I had a child I had a home up on a hill Had a good life for seven years Now all I?ve got is seven tears Went down to see my gypsy man He said, "Now son, I understand". When I said, "I want one for every year". He tattooed on my face, these seven tears Oh, seven tears, oh, seven tears I want one for every happy year My baby?s gone, she?s gone, gone, gone And I?ll cry forever, ever on INSTRUMENTAL: When I walk out into the lights of town People see me comin? and they gather round They wanna know how I ended up here With this tattoo on my face of seven tears Oh, seven tears, oh, seven tears I want one for every happy year My baby?s gone, she?s gone, gone, gone And I?ll cry forever, ever on Mmm, ooh
