Gypsy In My Soul

Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald

If I am fancy free

And love to wander

It's just the Gypsy in my soul



There's something calling me

From way out yonder

It's just the Gypsy in my soul



I've got to give vent to my emotions

I'm only content havin' my way



There is no other life

Of which I'm fonder

It's just the Gypsy in my soul



No cares

No strings

My heart has wings



If I am fancy free

And I love to wander

It's just the Gypsy in my soul



I've got to give vent to my emotions

I'm only content havin' my way



There is no other life

Of which I'm fonder

It's just the Gypsy in my soul



No cares

No strings

My heart has wings



If I am fancy free

And love to wander

It's just the Gypsy in my soul

It's just the Gypsy in my soul

Just the Gypsy in my soul
