The sheet music:
Lyrics
One day a gypsy showed me golden earrings
That he wished to sell
They had that look of rare and olden earrings
And he swore they’d bring a magic spell
Refrain:
There’s a story the gypsys know is true
That when your love wears golden earrings
She belongs to you
An old love story that’s know to very few
But if you wear these golden earrings
Love will come to you
By the burning fire they will glow
With every coal
You will hear desire whisper low
Inside your soul
So be my gypsy, make love your guiding light
And let this pair of golden earrings
Cast their spell tonight
