T'was early in November
With the first snows on the ground
While walking through the forest
Thought I heard a rustling sound

I turned in its direction
And the strangest sight I saw
A lovely lady dancing there
Through the mists and light as air

Gypsy lady, dancin' near and far
Now I don't know where yer goin'
And I don't know who ye are,
But I see ye are a-wanderin'
And I've found me lucky star,
So gypsy lady, wander near and far

Now this vision I did follow
Through the forest near and far
Spied her dancin' in the hollow
 Neath the moon and all the stars

In a trance I simply stood there
As she floated 'cross the ground
She never looked in my direction
I never dared to make a sound, so. . .

{Chorus}

I watched the gypsy lady
'Till the sun began arise
And exactly at that moment
I saw deep into her eyes

She turned and saw me frozen
As the snow upon the ground
What I would give to have arosen
As she vanished without sound

{Chorus}

Each night you'll find me back there
With hopes that she'll return
My dancin' lady so fair
For you my heart does yearn

But not once again I've seen her
Though I wait 'till night turns day
But my gypsy is no longer
As my hopes they fade away

{Chorus}
