Lyrics

Gypsy's dance around the campfire, shook their tambourines
They were waiting for the dust of an outlaw, Sundown was his name
As the midnight hour grew closer and the sky begins to fall
You can see his shadow by the light of the moon
They had heard the gypsys call
She had hair as black as darkness, her eyes of emerald green
Her voice was soft and tender, ooh she could sing
She will sing no more, or dance again or shake a tambourine
They had taken her away, she was dead and gone, hear the gypsies sing
Ooh, ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry)
Ooh, ooh, hurry Sundown
Ooh, ooh, hurry Sundown (oh, the gypsies' cry)
Hurry Sundown
Ooh, ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry)
Ooh, ooh, hurry Sundown
Ooh, ooh, hurry Sundown (oh, (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, lying in Boothill
Gypsy's dance around the campfire, shook their tambourines
They were waiting for the dust of an outlaw, Sundown was his name
As the midnight hour grew closer and the sky begins to fall
You can see his shadow by the light of the moon
They had heard the gypsys call
Ooh, ooh, hurry Sundown
Ooh, ooh, hurry Sundown
Ooh, ooh, hurry Sundown
Ooh, ooh, hurry Sundown
