Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Doo, doo) From nowhere (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
Through a caravan (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
Around the campfire light (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
(Doo, doo, doo, doo) A lovely woman in motion (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
With hair as dark as night (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
(Doo, doo, doo, doo) Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark
(Da, doo) That hypnotize me with love
[Verse 2]
She was a Gypsy woman
She was a Gypsy woman
[Verse 3]
(Doo, doo) She danced around and round (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
(Doo, doo, doo, doo) To a guitar melody (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
(Doo, doo, doo, doo) From the fire, her face was all aglow
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
How she enchanted me (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
Oh, how I'd like to hold her to me (Ooh)
And kiss and forever whisper in her ear (Da, ooh)
[Verse 4]
I love you, Gypsy woman
I love you, Gypsy woman
[Verse 5]
(Ah, ah)
All through the caravan
She was dancing with all the men
(Ah, ah)
Waiting for the rising sun
Everyone was having fun
(Ah, ah)
I hate to see the lady go
Knowing she'll never know
That I love her (Love her)
I love her (Love her)
[Verse 6]
The Gypsy woman
(She was) A Gypsy woman
(She was) A Gypsy woman
(She was) A Gypsy woman
(She was) A Gypsy woman
