Gypsy Woman


Silver coins
That jingle jangle
Fancy shoes that dance in time
All the secrets of her dark eyes
Let it sing a gypsy rhyme

Yellow clover in tangled blossoms
In a meadow silky green
Where she held me to her bosom
Just a boy of seventeen

I recall a gypsy woman
Silver spangles in her eyes
Ivory skin
Against the moonlight
And the taste of life’s sweet wine

Soft breezes blow
From fragrant meadows
Stir the darkness
In my mind
Oh gentle woman you sleep beside me
Little know who haunts my mind

Gypsy lady
I hear your laughter
And the dancing in my head
While my tender wife and babies
Slumber softly in their beds

I recall a gypsy woman
Silver spangles in her eyes
Ivory skin
Against the moonlight
And the taste of life’s sweet wine

I recall a gypsy woman
Silver spangles in her eyes
Ivory skin
Against the moonlight
And the taste of life’s sweet wine
