Thread Name: Lyr Req: I Recall a Gypsy Woman (from Doc Watson)
Subject: RE: Gipsy woman
Hey Gene and Remi and Frank; Does any of you have the WORDS to "I recall a gipsy woman" as performed by Doc Watson? I NEED to know. I collect gypsy-related folklore.

Also, Remi especially, when I was in France in the early '60s, I heard an American recording, no idea who the artist was, of a song called "The Pinball Machine." I would love to have all the words to it. It starts, "I'm an old hog hauler and I drive a big truck; I played the pinball machine till it brought me bad luck. All I ever got on the pinball machine, I got the four cat-e-corners, but I missed the sixteen." A trucker is so addicted to the pinball machine that his wife and kids die while he is playing pinball on the road... Thanks Pat
