I Recall a Gypsy Woman

[Verse 1]
Silver coins that jingle jangle
Fancy shoes that dance in time
All 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

[Chorus]
I recall a gypsy woman
Silver spangles in her eyes
Ivory skin against the moonlight
And the taste of life's sweet wine

[Verse 2]
Soft breezes blow from fragrant meadows
And stir the darkness in my mind
Oh, gentle woman, you sleep beside me
And little know who haunts my mind

[Verse 3]
Gypsy lady, I hear your laughter
And it dances in my head
While my tender wife and babies
Slumber softly in their beds

[Chorus]
I recall a gypsy woman
Silver spangles in her eyes
Ivory skin against the moonlight
And the taste of life's sweet wine
