Outlaws- Hurry Sundown

Hurry Sundown-Lyrics:

Gypsies' danced around the campfire
Shook their tambourines
They were waitin' for the ghost of an outlaw
Sundown was his name
As the midnight hour grew closer and
The sky began to fall
You could see his shadow in the light of the moon
He'd heard the gypsies' call...

She had hair as black as darkness
Eyes of emerald green
Oh her voice was soft and tender
An' oooh 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 could hear the gypsies' sing

Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry)
Ooh, hurry Sundown
Ooh, hurry Sundown (whoa the gypsies' cry)
Hurry Sundown


Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry)
Ooh, hurry Sundown
Ooh, hurry Sundown (oh 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, to lie him in Boot Hill

Gypsies' danced around the campfire
Shook their tambourines
They were waitin' for the ghost of an outlaw, Sundown was his name
As the midnight hour grew closer and the sky began to fall
You could see their shadows in the light of the moon
They'd heard the gypsies' call

Ooh, hurry Sundown
Ooh, hurry Sundown
Ooh, hurry Sundown
Ooh, hurry Sundown

the outlaws are amazing

their music is made out of 100% soul and beauty and their songs will forever be remembered

[EARLJAM123]

Never got enough credit!

[LuvnOldees]

MacDaniels & Bleakley use to perform this tune at least 10 ten times a night at Stevens Hot Groceries in Gulfport, Mississippi back in the day. Those two dudes had a knack for finding songs like this that never really hit the air waves and turn us on to some of the best music you never heard.

[LuvnOldees]

You got that right EARLJAM123.

@TheChaingang2011 very true

[TheChaingang2011]

think about it. people now think if theres a guitar in the song its can be called rock. well their dead wrong

[karlmoles65]

Know what the problem with modern rock music is? It's all the same boring ass themes. No one has any damn imagination anymore. Look at this song, it's badass as hell, and it's about vengeance from beyond the grave. You see Lil Wayne, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga writing about vengeance from beyond the grave? The world lost it's vision and imagination.

If you like the Outlaws You'll like Blackhawk or the Henry Paul Band.

@onett128 fuck yes. thank you for this comment. i would say "Bless you", but god doesn't exist in the way the common human mind wants to perceive it. Instead, watch this...to learn about god, "The Quantum Activist" . gg gl
