Outlaws Hurry Sundown
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 begins to fall
You can see their shadow
by the light of the moon
They had heard the gypsies' call
She had hair as black as darkness
eyes of emerald green
And her voice was soft and tender
oooh she loved to 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
