Gypsies danced around the campfire, Shook their tamborines
Em C
They were waiting for the ghost of an outlaw, Sundown was his name
Em C
As the midnight hour drew closer and the sky began to fall

You could see his shadow in the light of the moon
C
He heard the gypsies ca--ll
Em C
She had hair as black as darkness, her eyes were emerald green
Em C
Oh, her voice was soft and tender, And oooh, she loved to sing
Em C
She will sing no more or dance again, and shake her tamborines
Em
They have taken her away, she's dead and gone
C
You could hear the Gypsies sing

He had come for the one who took her life, To lie him in boothill
