WAYLON JENNINGS - I RECALL A GYPSY WOMAN lyrics

rate me

Silver coins that jingle jangle fancy shoes that dance in time

Oh the secrets of her dark eyes they did 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

[ harmonica ]

Soft breezes blow from fragrant meadows stir the darkness in my mind

Oh gentle woman you sleep beside me and little know who haunts my mind

Gypsy lady I hear your laughter and it dances in my head

While my tender wife and babies slumber softly in their bed

I recall a gypsy woman...
