RIP Hughie Thomasson

I missed this back in September. Hughie Thomasson passed away. Lets go back to 1982 when I saw him with the Outlaws. The song is Hurry Sundown

Gypsies danced around the campfire, shook their tambourines
They were waiting for ghost of an outlaw, Sundown was his name
As the midnight hour drew closer, and the sky began to fall
You could see his shadow in the light of the moon
You could hear the Gypsies ca--------ll
She had hair as black as darkness, her eyes a cold blue green
Oh her voice was soft and tender oh, She loved to sing
She will sing no more or dance again, and shake her tambourines
They have taken her away she's dead and gone, hear the Gypsies sing
Ooh!! Ooh!! Hurry Sundown the Gypsies called
Ooh!! Ooh!! Hurry Sundown
Ooh!! Ooh!! Hurry Sundown the Gypsies cried
Hurry Sundown
Silver doubles in his holsters, stars stuck to his heals
There was fire in his eyes they say, he was dressed to kill
He had hands as fast as lightning, eyes as cold as steel
He came for the one that took her life, lying in boot hill
