Gypsies danced around the campfire, Shook their tamborines
Em C

Em C
As the midnight hour drew closer and the sky began to fall
Em
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

They have taken her away, she's dead and gone
C
You could hear the Gypsies sing

Em C
Silver devils in his holsters, Stars strapped to his heels
Em C
There was fire in his eyes, they say that he was dressed to kill
Em C
He had hands as fast as lightning, A heart as cold as steel
Em C
He had come for the one who took her life, To lie him in boothill
(at hill)
