Caravan (Live)

And the caravan is on it's way

I can hear the merry gypsies play

Mama-mama-mama, mama-mama-mama-mama

Look at Emma Rose, Emma Rose, Emma Rose

She's a-playin' with the shortwave radio

And the caravan has all my friends, all my friends

And they stay with me until, until the bitter end

Gypsy Robin, sweet Emma Rose, huh

Tell me everything, everything I need to know

La, la, la-la, la, la, la

La, la, la-la, da-dup, da-dup, da-dup, dup-da-da-da

Turn up your radio and let me hear the song

Switch on your electric light

Then we can get down to what is really wrong

I long to behold you in my arms so I can, so I can feel you

Sweet lady of the night I shall and I will reveal you

If you will, huh

Turn it up, turn it up, little bit higher, radio

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, so you know, it's got soul

La-da, da-da, la, da, da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da

La-dup, da-dup, da-dup, da-da, la

Jack

Hey

And the caravan is painted red and white

That means everybody's stayin' overnight, overnight

And the barefoot gypsy boy, 'round the campfire, sing and play

And a woman tells us of her ways

La, la, la-la, la, la, la

La, la, la-lup, da-dup, da-dup, da, da-da-da-da, da-dup

Turn up your radio and let a-me, let a-me hear the song

Switch on your electric light

I long just to hold you in my arms so I can, so I can feel you

Sweet lady, sweet lady of the night I shall and I will reveal you

If you will

Turn it up, turn it up, little bit higher, radio

Turn it up, so you know, it's got soul, it's got soul

So you know, so you know it's got

Soul
