The Gypsy Girl and Me

[00:26.16] Oh we were playing in the Roman ruins
[00:28.80] In the town of Arles
[00:30.69] She said "Parlez-vous Francais?"
[00:32.46] I said "Oui, je parle"
[00:34.28] She asked me for some cigarettes
[00:36.07] I gave her my per diem
[00:41.42] Well then she bought a pack of Gauloises
[00:44.12] And we headed to the Coliseum
[00:52.27] Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
[00:56.76] Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
[01:01.24] Oooh, gypsy girl
[01:12.16] Well the night was hot and dangerous
[01:14.82] Like a forest fire
[01:16.66] The stage was lit in blood red lights
[01:18.48] The band sang like a choir
[01:20.26] Then later on we all hung out
[01:22.95] At Van Gogh's Cafe De Nuit
[01:27.43] Well we drank 'til no one was left
[01:30.14] Just a gypsy girl and me
[01:38.20] Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
[01:41.88] Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
[01:44.54] Oooh, gypsy girl and me
[01:58.19] She didn't speak a word of English
[02:00.83] Not even yes or no
[02:01.78] But she followed me to the Grand Hotel
[02:04.41] Hand in hand real slow
[02:06.26] She kissed me with her eyes tight shut
[02:08.05] I couldn't help but stare
[02:13.46] Because her face was like a Renoir
[02:15.22] She even had red hair
[02:22.46] Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
[02:27.83] Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
[02:30.52] Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
[02:35.95] Oooh, gypsy girl and me
[02:43.20] Well we stayed in each other's arms
[02:45.90] Tumblin' through the night
[02:47.71] Her delicate skin like porcelain
[02:49.52] Lit by the pale moonlight
[02:51.33] We made love in every way
[02:53.19] Yes we set each other free
[02:58.58] Well we didn't stop 'til the morning come
[03:01.27] The gypsy girl and m
[03:07.55] Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
[03:13.80] Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
[03:17.43] Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
[03:21.94] Oooh, gypsy girl and me
[03:29.26] Then I told her that I had to leave
[03:31.09] We were playing in Marseille
[03:33.78] She smiled and kissed me once Then she said "Aley"
[03:37.30] I lay by the window
[03:39.19] Trying to catch some air
[03:40.96] The room was thick with sparkling dust
[03:42.74] From the village square
[03:44.59] The sun was slowly rising
[03:47.29] Casting shadows from the trees
[03:48.13] I could hear the cowboys talking
[03:49.90] About the gypsy girl and me
[04:00.76] She brought a friend to see the show
[04:01.69] She was a gypsy too
[04:03.47] We laughed together all night long
[04:05.29] She showed me her tattoo
[04:08.04] It covered her from head to toe
[04:09.80] In religious imagery
[04:14.31] And on her back in an angel's arms
[04:17.09] Was the gypsy girl and me
[05:52.61]
