Songtexte Caravan (Live) - Van Morrison

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
