From nowhere, through a caravan around the campfire light
A lovely woman in motion with hair as dark as night
Her eyes were like those of a cat in the dark
That hypnotized me with love

She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman

She danced 'round and 'round to a guitar melody
From the fire her face was all aglow
Oh Lord, how she enchanted me, oh, how I'd like to hold her near
And kiss and forever whisper in her ear

I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman

All through the caravan, she was dancing with all the men
Waiting for the rising sun, everyone was having fun
I hate to see the lady go, knowing she'll never know
That I loved her, let me tell you

I love her, the gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman
A gypsy woman

Before I knew the night was through and I was alone
The charms of the gypsy woman and her caravan was gone
All was left with [Incomprehensible]
Of a love that made me, my heart surrender to a gypsy woman

She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman
