Gypsies danced around the campfire, shook their tambourines |
|
They were waiting for the ghost of an outlaw, Sundown was his name |
|
As the midnight hour grew closer and the sky began to fall |
|
You can see his shadow by the light of the moon |
|
They had heard the gypsies' call |
|
She had hair as black as darkness, eyes of emerald green |
|
Oh, her voice was soft and tender, oooh she loved sing |
|
She will sing no more, or dance again or shake her tambourines |
|
They had taken her away, she was dead and gone, hear the gypsies sing |
|
Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry) |
|
Ooh, hurry Sundown |
|
Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry) |
|
Hurry Sundown |
|
Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry) |
|
Ooh, hurry Sundown |
|
Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry) |
|
Silver devils in his holsters, stars strapped to his heels |
|
There was fire in his eyes, they say that he was dressed to kill |
|
He had hands as fast as lightning, a heart as cold as steel |
|
He had come for the one that took her life, to lie him in Boot Hill |
|
Gypsies danced around the campfire, shook their tambourines |

Ooh, hurry Sundown |
|
Ooh, hurry Sundown |
|
Ooh, hurry Sundown |
|
Ooh, hurry Sundown |
