I Recall A Gypsy Woman
by B.J. Thomas

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

Soft breezes flowed
From fragrant meadows
And stirred the darkness in my mind
Oh gentle woman
You sleep beside me
And little know what haunts my mind

Gypsy lady
I hear your laughter
And it dances
In my head
But while my tender
Wife and babies
Slumber softly in their beds

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