had a wife, I had a child
I had a home up on 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
Mmm, ooh
Born In The U.S.A. outtake.
