DANCE, GYPSY, DANCE
(Stanley Damerell / Tolchard Evans)

David Whitfield – 1953


Dance, Gypsy, dance
Though tears may flow
Love's a game you played and lost
Now you're left to count the cost
Dance, Gypsy, dance,
On with the show
Though your aching heart is breaking
Dance, Gypsy, dance.

Gypsy campfires glowing `neath the stars
Hearts beat to the throbbing of guitars
But one heart is crying
So her feet are flying.

Dance, Gypsy, dance
Though tears may flow
Love's a game you played and lost
Now you're left to count the cost
Dance, Gypsy, dance,
On with the show
Though your aching heart is breaking
Dance, Gypsy, dance.

(Musical Interlude)

Dance, Gypsy, dance
Though tears may flow
Love's a game you played and lost
Now you're left to count the cost
Dance, Gypsy, dance,
On with the show
Though your aching heart is breaking
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, Gypsy, dance.
