Hurry Sundown Lyrics

Gypsies danced
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
In the light of the moon
He heard the gypsies call

She had hair as black as darkness
Her eyes were emerald green
Oh her voice was soft and tender
Ooh 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
You can hear the gypsies sing

Ooh ooh, hurry Sundown
(The gypsies cry)
Ooh ooh, hurry Sundown
Ooh ooh, hurry Sundown
(Well the gypsies cry)
Arizona
Ooh ooh, hurry Sundown
(The gypsies cry)
Ooh ooh, hurry Sundown
Ooh ooh, hurry Sundown
(Well 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
Gypsies danced
Around the campfire
They 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 their shadows
In the light of the moon
They heard the gypsies call

Ooh ooh, hurry Sundown
Ooh ooh, hurry sundown
Ooh ooh, hurry Sundown
Ooh ooh, hurry sundown
