Ry Cooder - GYPSY WOMAN lyrics

(Curtis Mayfield)

From out of nowhere, through a caravan, around the campfire light

Came a lovely woman in motion with hair as dark as night

Her eyes were like those of a cat in the dark

And she hypnotized me with love

She was a Gypsy Woman

She danced around and 'round to guitar melody

From the fire her face was all aglow

How she enchanted me

How I'd love to hold her near

And kiss and forever whisper in her ear

I love you Gypsy Woman

I want you Gypsy Woman

I need you Gypsy Woman

Just got to have a 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 love her, I love her

I love you Gypsy Woman

I want you Gypsy Woman

I need you Gypsy Woman

Just got to have a Gypsy Woman
