Hazel the gypsy and I we went
Walking
Eyes perfectly matching
Despite our different takes
Had no shoes
Just bruises and opinions on
Living it up neck and neck
On simplicity stakes
Why didn' t I ask her
Where she came from
Got her name from
Oh - it wasn ' t a tactic
Why didn' t she jinx me
Like a gypsy rose lee should
Oh - maybe she was distracted
Oh she wasn' t a bad kid
Summer in the valley
On the hot stone alley that
Cut a hole through the house
From the front to the back
Little did I know who was coming over
To the place with the gate
That welcomed hazel black
Why didn' t I ask her
Where she came from
Got her name from
Oh - it wasn ' t a tactic
Why didn' t she jinx me
Like a gypsy rose lee should
Oh - maybe she was distracted
Why didn' t I ask her
Where she came from
Got her name from
Oh - she wasn ' t a tactic
Why didn' t she jinx me
Like a gypsy rose lee should
Oh - maybe she was distracted
Yeah
Why didn' t I ask her
Where she came from
Got her name from
Oh - maybe she was distracted
She was hazel black
Hazel black
Miss hazel black
