The song Gypsy Woman was written by JD in 1984/1985 and played pretty often live, but was never recorded, however, JD wrote a totally new arrangement for the song prior to this recording. There are 2 different recordings made these days, one pre-release single-edition and this album-edition. The album-edition has a wonderful slide guitar recorded while the single-edition has a beautiful electric guitar solo played by Maximilian Steffens, enjoy both versions...
lyrics
"Gypsy Woman"
1. I've been down on a Gypsy Woman,
got her tonight and she was hummin',
yeah we got it really really all right,
we went down to Chicago,
we went down by Wells Fargo,
'coz we are playin' in a travellin' band,
Chorus
she's so fine, ooh, I can tell ya,
hope you don't mind if I still hold her
everybody else would like to do the same
she's so fine, ooh, I can tell ya,
hope you don't mind if I still hold her
everybody else would like to do the same
2. we got down to Louisiana,
to visit her aunt Maggie, she's a farmer,
we met the band downtown L.A.
had a show in Southern California
a one-night stand in Winslow, Arizona
yeah, she's got a Rock'n' Roll bandman
Chorus...
solo
Chorus...
