Gypsy Woman Lyrics

From nowhere through a caravan
around the camp fire light
ah lovely woman in motion with hair as dark as night
her eyes were like that of a cat in dark
that hypnotized me with love
she was a gypsy woman
she was a gypsy woman

she danced around and round
to a guitar melody from the fire
her face was all aglow
how she enchanted me


oh how I'd like to hold her near and kiss
and forever whisper in her ear
I loved a gypsy woman
I loved a gypsy woman

all through the caravan
she was dancing with all the men
waiting for the rising star
everyone was having fun
I hate to see the lady go
knowing that she will never know that I love her I love her
ah gypsy woman
ah gypsy woman
ah gypsy woman

The Impressions were an American music group from Chicago, Illinois, active from 1958 until 1983, whose repertoire included doo-wop, gospel, soul, and R&B.

The group was founded as The Roosters by Chattanooga, Tennessee natives Sam Gooden, Richard Brooks, and Arthur Brooks, who moved to Chicago, Illinois and added Jerry Butler and Curtis Mayfield to their lineup to become Jerry Butler & the Impressions. By 1962, Butler and the Brookses had departed, and after switching to ABC-Paramount Records, Mayfield, Gooden, and new Impression Fred Cash collectively became a top-selling soul act. Mayfield left the group for a solo career in 1970; Leroy Hutson, Ralph Johnson, Reggie Torian, and Nate Evans were among the replacements who joined Gooden and Cash before the group's demise in 1983.

Inductees into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, The Impressions are best known for their 1960s string of hits, many of which were heavily influenced by gospel music and served as inspirational anthems for the Civil Rights Movement.
