I'm gonna give you 40 days
Gonna call up the gypsy woman
I'm gonna tell the whole wide world,
That'll be the very thing that I do, dude
I'm on the sea, she'll be back home
she'll be back home in 40 days
That to me's the fairest thing that I could do
I want to see she'll be back home
Well, I was talking to the judge
in her private early this morning
When along came the sheriff
and he took me without any warning
This'll be the barren bed that'll hang ya
I wanna see she'll be back home
I wanna see she'll be back home
I wanna tell the whole wide world
You've got to be the fairest thing
I'm gonna see she'll be back home
I'm gonna see she'll be back home
I'm gonna tell the whole wide world, you
That would be the very thing that I'd do
I'm gonna see she'll be back home
I'm gonna see she'll be back home
I'm gonna see she'll be back home
