[Verse 1] 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, Lord, 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 lifes sweet wine [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] I recall a gypsy woman silver spangles in her eyes Ivory skin against the moonlight and the taste of lifes sweet wine
