Dan Gonzalez: Music
Be Careful of the Gypsies
(copyright 2002 Dan Gonzalez)
The summer's hot in southern Spain
The sun beats down then bounces up again
The gypsies make their homes in caves
Passed through generations
(CHORUS)
Watch your money
These streets are dripping thieves
That's what I've been told
Be careful of the gypsies
They work the crowds with old guitars
And voices scratched by smoke from cigarettes
The gypsies make their wage from tip jars
I've fallen for the music
(CHORUS)
I've come to find the narrow streets
To breathe the life of Spanish gypsies
To let flamenco feed my soul
And forget what I've been told
(CHORUS)
Walk fast and steady
When you pass by the gypsies
Be sure you're on the ready
Be careful of the gypsies
