I Recall A Gypsy Woman Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

(Bob McDill - Allen Reynolds) 

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. 

--- Instrumental --- 

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.
