GIPSIE WILGOUS

Musik/Lyric Markus Reichenbach

Verse 1:
Gipsie Wilgous was a girl, a girl so sweet
when we were children, we played all day indeed.
She was our neighbor's daughter, and my friend
we had no problems, just a lot of time to spend.

Verse 2: Very soon, Gipsie grew, a lady young and fine
and all the guys were after her, well so was I,
and Gipsie took a look around, with open eyes to see,
who would be the guy for her, and she kept me company.

Verse 3:
Gipsie was a loving friend, so what the hell was going wrong
feeling sure about her love, I guess I felt myself too strong
did I ever listen, did I ever really care?
Did I ever notice when my girl was feeling bad?

Verse 4:
Anyway, there was this guy, he was a stranger in our town
never saw the kid before where we used to hang around.
All my friends kept telling me he's gonna steal your lova away
And I was never hurt like this when Gipsie said she wouldn't stay.

Verse 5:
Gipsie Wilgous, come-on home or do you wanna make me cry?
Hey you gotta give me time it ain't too late to start again.

Verse 6:
Gipsie, please, don't drive me mad and do a thing to feel sorry about
I can prove that I'm the man who's gonna kill for you, no doubt.

Verse 7:
Gipsie Wilgous look at me and tell me what your eyes can see.
See this gun here in my hand, I'm gonna use it on this man.

Chorus:
Running away won't save his life, oh no,
running away and still he'll die, that's right.

Verse 8:
Gipsie Wilgous, I ain't scared, I am ready, I'm prepared
 this guy took my life away, he shouldn't have, he's gonna pay.

Chorus:
Running away won't save his life, oh no,
running away and still he'll die, that's right.
Running away won't save his life, oh no,
running away and still he'll die, that's right, Year!

 - Solo -

Chorus:
Running away won't save his life, oh no,
running away and still he'll die, that's right.
Running away won't save his life, oh no,
running away and still he'll die, that's right.
