Jolly Rogers Wild Gypsy Girl
Long black curls and a fire in the eyes
Spinning, dancing a brief flash of thigh
I can see her like it was yesterday
It was then that she stole my heart away.
We met one night under a strawberry moon
A soft summer night in the midst of June
She played violin and could dance and could sing
She spoke my name and was my everything.
Chorus:
Have you seen her, my wild gypsy girl?
There's not another like her in this world
I've searched the land and all the wild silver seas
Now I've come back to where she last kissed me
Looking for my gypsy girl.
Our love was a passion unbridled and wild
My heart would soar whenever she smiled
I could feel her soul in a lover's embrace
I could see heaven shining in my lovers face.
She sang me a song that enchanted my heart
Two lovers entwined that never would part
But I left her behind with one tearful kiss
And come back to memories like this
Chorus
How fast the time flies, how the years they have passed
And my heart led me back to where I saw her last
I know that it's foolish to think I'd find her again
But if there's that chance, I just can't let this end
Here's to the love I've truly missed in my life
Compared her to every girl, sweetheart, and wife
And somehow I knew that someday I'd try
To make it up to her that I once made her cry
Chorus
Long black curls and a fire in the eyes
Spinning, dancing a brief flash of thigh
I can see her like it was yesterday
It was then that she stole my heart away.
