Gypsy Woman
Rick Nelson · Rick Nelson Box Set [Legacy] [2000]
Hey, gypsy woman, (hey, hey, hey gypsy woman)
Look in your crystal ball and tell me where my baby's gone
(Hey, gypsy woman, hey gypsy woman.)
Hey, gypsy woman, (hey, hey, hey gypsy woman)
Look in your crystal ball and tell me if my baby's comin' home
(Hey, gypsy woman hey gypsy woman.)
She left one night like the wind she was gone
I don't know why but I know that I'm alone
If it was me that made her leave I wanna know
Just lead the way gypsy woman and I'll go.
Hey, gypsy woman, (hey, hey, hey gypsy woman)
Look in your crystal ball and tell me what my future will be
(Hey, gypsy woman, hey gypsy woman)
Hey, gypsy woman, (hey, hey, hey gypsy woman)
Look in your crystal ball and tell me if you see her with me
(Hey, gypsy woman, hey gypsy woman.)
--- Instrumental ---
She left one night like the wind she was gone
I don't know why but I know that I'm alone
If it was me that made her leave I wanna know
Just lead the way gypsy woman and I'll go.
Hey, hey, hey gypsy woman, (hey, hey, hey gypsy woman)
Look in your crystal ball and tell me what my future will be
Hey, hey, hey gypsy woman, (hey, hey, hey gypsy woman)
Look in your crystal ball and tell me if you see her with me
(Hey, gypsy woman, hey, gypsy woman...)
