“Gotta Git Back to My Gypsy!”


Gotta git back to my Gypsy,
I GOTTA TRAVEL ON.
She's in our caravan down in ABILENE
And I’m a far, far way from home.

She called me on her telee phone
And told me what was what…
If I don’t git back there pretty soon,
I’ll be wishin' I had not !

I’m gonna take INTERSTATE 90
And mash my pedal through.
Gonna scoot from Seattle, Washington
And make it a straight line too.

Gonna fly my pickup over HOUSTON
Like it weren’t even there!
Cause I yearn to see my Gypsy girl
With all that flamin' red hair!

Now, it's through old DETROIT CITY
Without a care for that world.
For I'm runnin' back to my sweet pretty,
Cause she’s my Gypsy girl!
