Текст песни
Her hair fell in braids like twin rivers of midnight
Flowing down through the snow
Her eyes seemed to hold the secret of ages
You could guess at but you'd never know
I seen her first being beat by a lover
She was either his sweetheart or wife
I couldn't stand to see how he beat her
So I set his soul free with my knife
I traded my dreams to a wandering gypsy girl
Sold her my soul for a kiss
She gave me her love for a bunch of red ribbons
But the gypsy's the girl that I miss
For a while I thought I'd found an angel from heaven
I thought she gave true love complete
Till I found her one night in the arms of a gambler
She cursed me and spat at my feet
Sometimes at night when I hear a coyote
Searching for love in the night
My heart starts to yearn for the love of the gypsy
Like a blind man must long for his sight
I traded my dreams to a wandering gypsy girl
Sold her my soul for a kiss
She gave me her love for a bunch of red ribbons
But the gypsy's the girl that I miss
I seen her today in Alfredo's Cantina
The sight was too much to endure
I shot her down in cold blood as she stood there
Tomorrow they'll hang me for sure
As I sit in my cell and wait for the hanging
I blame no one but myself
But I'd rather have spent one hour with the gypsy
Than a lifetime with somebody else
I traded my dreams to a wandering gypsy girl
Sold her my soul for a kiss
She gave me her love for a bunch of red ribbons
But the gypsy's the girl that I miss
