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
