Fancy shoes that dance in time

Oh the secrets of her dark eyes

They did sing a gypsy rhyme

Yellow clover in tangled blossom

In a meadow silky green

Where she held me to her bosom

Just a boy of seventeen

Chorus:

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

You little know who haunts my mind

Chorus: I recall…

Oh gypsy lady I hear your laughter

And it dances in my head

While my tender wife and baby

Slumber softly in their bed

Chorus: I recall
