Dance Gypsy Dance Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

There's a harvest moon and the stars are bright 

(Dance, gypsy, dance) 

There's a little bit of frost on the grass tonight 

(Dance, gypsy, dance) 

Over in the meadow hid away from them all 

Dance all night to the fiddle's call 

Down by the river where the trees grow tall 

(Dance, gypsy, dance) 

I know about you and I know where you've been 

(Dance, gypsy, dance) 

You stole some money from a crippled man 

(Dance, gypsy, dance) 

And then you hit him in the head with a walkin' cane 

Pushed him outside in the freezin' rain 

But I bet you wouldn't ever do that again 

(Dance, gypsy, dance) 

Turnin', turnin' 'round the fire 

Burnin', burnin' higher and higher 

And they gotta reckon with the dead man's stone 

(Lay, gypsy, lay) 

He's headed this way with a bullet in his gun 

(Pray, gypsy, pray) 

Yea, the hangin' mob is ridin' all night 

But they can't be here till tomorrow night 

And you'll be gone by the morning light 

(Dance, gypsy, dance) 

Turnin', turnin' 'round the fire 

Burnin', burnin' higher and higher 

And a shot rings out on the midnight breeze 

(Dance, gypsy, dance) 

From a Winchester rifle back in the trees 

(Dance, gypsy, dance) 

Nobody moved, nobody spoke 

But way down yonder by the hollow oak 

Hangin' up there by the end of that rope 

(Dance, gypsy, dance) 

Over in the meadow hid away from them all 

Dance all night to the fiddle's call 

Down by the river where the trees grow tall 

(Dance, gypsy, dance) 

Dance, gypsy, dance
