If I am fancy free,
And love to wander,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
There's somethin' callin' 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
Hmm, there is no other life,
Of which I'm fonder,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
No cares!
No strings!
My heart,
It has wings!
If I am fancy free,
And I love to wander,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
< instrumental bridge >
If I am fancy free,
And I love to wander,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
In my soul!
The Gypsy, in my soul!
