King of the Gypsies (Gorman/Harty)

Traveling men they fight
not all of them ,nor all of the time
but many and often and its well known
that i was the best in mine

I've stood in the dock in four crown courts
seen blood run down the lanes
i lived for years on a razors edge
there's irish blood in my veins

Im the King of the Gypsies
im the Lord of the Lanes
you know my name
you know my name

And the king will be known as the king
until the day he dies
loved and feared ,admired and hunted
by all of the romany ryes

i'll wander the world 'til the end of my days
draw a crowd wherever i go
but i carry no hate in my soul, only love
so much more than a man could show

Im the King of the Gypsies
im the Lord of the Lanes
you know my name
you know my name

And there'll always be one, you can bet
who thinks he's Gypsy Jack
but i've seen so much of blood and of pain
my fightin' days are done and i won't look back

And now my children have their own children
i need not prove my worth
and i wouldn't trade one of their smiles
for all of the gold on the earth

Im the King of the Gypsies
im the Lord of the Lanes
you know my name
you know my name

  • it's a shame that it took him all this to finally understand that..violence is not a good thing..anyway nevermind God rest his soul

  • should've been a folk singer or something,it could've earn him more money for his family..if this was all about,i mean the man had a very beautiful and emotonial voice..why going through all this hellish situations?why do we fight?were's the proof?i prefer to fight when i have to..to protect my physical well being of me or others..and i wont use only boxing either..i will use even my teeth
