Santana

From nowhere through a caravan
Around the campfire light
A lovely woman in motion
With hair as dark as night

Her eyes like a cat in the dark
They hypnotize me with love

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

She danced around and around
To a guitar melody
Her face was all aglow
How she enchanted me

And oh, I'd like to hold her near
And kiss and forever whisper in her ear

I love you gypsy woman, gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman, gypsy woman

Yeah, gypsy woman, 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 that she'll never know
I love her
Said, I love her

She was my gypsy woman, gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman, yeah, gypsy woman

Love you gypsy woman, I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy, gypsy, gypsy woman
Gypsy woman, woman, I love you gypsy woman

Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947 in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco) is a Mexican and American musician who became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a fusion of rock and Latin American music. Carlos prefers to only play and leave lead vocals to guest singers. The band’s sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003 Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 20 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won ten Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards.
