lyrics

BANJARA

Where did you get your pretty little girl?
I did trade her to a maharajah
For a silver stallion, she's a Banjara

She wore a diamond in the nose
Golden rings and in her hair
She had a rose, I took her away on my white mare

Bring back your pretty little girl
Or run to the end of the world
Her brother is getting mad, now run for your life

I ain't gonna run, I ain't gonna hide
I will fight and I'd rather die
Than to give back my true love, my sweet wife

I ain't gonna run, I ain't gonna hide
I'm a free man on this land
With my woman by my side in my caravan

Her brother found us at the break of dawn
I fought him and I won
I heard him moan as he hit the ground, I saw him frown

And as he stood up he told his tribe
Let him go he's one of ours
He can have her now he's my brother, he's a Banjara

I ain't gonna run, I ain't gonna hide
I'm a free man on this land
With my baby by my side in my caravan

And I know it won't be long
Til our son is big and strong
He's got the power and the aura of a Banjara
