Seven Tears

I had a wife, I had a child
I had a home upon 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

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
