She's got long black hair dark as midnight
She moves to rhythms she alone can hear
I see her and I see gypsies dancing in the firelight
I'd sell my soul to hold her near
Cast the first stone if you dare to
Sit in judgment on your throne
You can blame her
Try and shame her
I want make her my own
Talk says she come down from Red River
Slipped off with her newborn one dark night
It's clear as day the married preacher is the father
But folks damn her, it just ain't right
Cast the first stone if you dare to
Hurl down lightning from your throne
I won't blame her
I won't shame her
I'm gonna make her my own
people whisper
oh they twist her
I got my dream
It's a dream where
Long black hair is swirling all around me
Thunder roars and winds begin to moan
I'm drawn into her eyes that glow like burning embers
She takes me for her own
