Lyrics

Gypsy Woman

From nowhere through the caravan
'Round the campfire light
A lovely woman in motion
With hair as dark as night
Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark
They hypnotized me with love
She was a gypsy woman
She's a gypsy woman
She's a gypsy woman

She danced around and 'round
Guitar's melody
From the fire her face was aglow
How she enchanted me
How I'd like to hold her near
And kiss her hair and whisper in her ear
I love you, gypsy woman
I love you, gypsy woman
I love you, gypsy woman
I love you, gypsy woman

All through the caravan
She was dancing with all her men
Waiting for the rising sun
Everybody having fun
I hated to see her go
Knowing that she'll never know that I love her
Oh, that I love her

I love you, gypsy woman
I love you, gypsy woman
I love you, gypsy woman
I love you, gypsy woman
I love you, gypsy woman
I love you, gypsy woman
I love you, gypsy woman
I love you, gypsy woman
Ooh woman
Ooh
