Long, long ago

At a time in my life

When I was still a young man

So much further from me now

With hair black as night

There was a girl

She looked in my eyes

My future she saw

Said how I would always love her

As she slyly slipped away

But it wasn’t just my money that

She stole from me that day

Now I am reining in

On the twilight of my life

That keep my dreaming up at night

But for a moment there was a Gypsy girl

Her skin was like porcelain

Forever in my memory
C7 F
I cannot erase

With hair black as night

There was a Gypsy girl
