about

Gypsy Caravan was written by Ed Rosenberg in a time when he was playing mandolin with a traveling gypsy group in the early 90s. This is when Ed started finding his place in a community of artist and musicians and he wrote this song to compare the joy he felt in this community to the feelings of un-belonging during his childhood. The track image is the only picture that Abe has documenting this time in his parent's lives and it is inside one of those vintage keychain picture viewers giving it that wild 3D perspective.

lyrics

I RAN AWAY WITH A GYPSY CARAVAN
I WENT ON THE ROAD
I RAN AWAY WITH A GYPSY CARAVAN
AND I DON’T KNOW WHEN I'M GOING HOME
NO I DON’T KNOW WHEN I'M GOING HOME

CH:
AND I DON’T GIVE A DAMN IF I NEVER COME BACK
DON’T GIVE A DAMN AT ALL
NO I DON’T GIVE A DAMN IF I NEVER COME BACK
CUS I’M GONNA HAVE ME A BALL

WHEN I WAS YOUNG I WAS SO SAD AND LONELY
I WAS ALL ALONE
WHEN I WAS YOUNG I WAS SO SAD AND LONELY
BUT NOW IM ON THE ROAD
NOW IM ON THE ROAD

CHORUS:

THE GYPSY LIFE IS SO ALIVE AND FREE
THE GYPSY LIFE IS GAY
OH THE GYPSY LIFE IS SO ALIVE AND FREE
IT MAKES MY LIFE COMPLETE
IT MAKES MY LIFE COMPLETE

CH:
AND I DON’T GIVE A DAMN IF I NEVER COME BACK
DON’T GIVE A DAMN AT ALL
NO I DON’T GIVE A DAMN IF I NEVER COME BACK
CUS I’M GONNA HAVE ME A BALL

INSTRUMENTAL

I RAN AWAY WITH A GYPSY CARAVAN
I WENT ON THE ROAD
I RAN AWAY WITH A GYPSY CARAVAN
AND I DON’T KNOW WHEN I'M GOING HOME
NO I DON’T KNOW WHEN I'M GOING HOME

CH:
AND I DON’T GIVE A DAMN IF I NEVER COME BACK
DON’T GIVE A DAMN AT ALL
NO I DON’T GIVE A DAMN IF I NEVER COME BACK
CUS I’M GONNA HAVE ME A BALL

CUS I’M GONNA HAVE ME A BALL
