Curtis Mayfield - Gypsy Woman

~~~♫♫♫ ~~~

From nowhere through a caravan
Around 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
That hypnotized me with love

She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman

She danced around and round
To a guitar melody
From the fire her face was all aglow
How she enchanted me
Oh, how I'd like to hold her near
And kiss and forever whisper in her ear

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

All through the caravan
She was dancing with all the men
Waiting for the rising sun
Everyone was having fun
I hate to see the lady go
Knowing she'll never know
That I loved her, let me tell you I loved her
The gypsy woman

She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman
A gypsy woman

Before I knew the night was through
And I was all alone
The charms of the gypsy woman
And her caravan was gone
All was left with burning embers
Of a love that made my heart surrender
to a gypsy woman

She was a gypsy woman
She was a lady
Be my baby
She was a lady
Be my baby
Gypsy, gypsy,
Gypsy, gypsy lady
Be my baby
