I stumbled through the undergrowth and came upon a strange mystery
For right before my eyes is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen
She said, you've come a long way, Mr. tired, I know
Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go
From the moment I set eyes on her I just wanted her for my own
And when she started singing I just wanted to take her home
She said, how can you be such a fool to want my body, not what I know?
Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go
That's when I realised she was not like you or me
Her lips were cherry wine, she has wings like the gypsy queen
She said you'll always reap the things that you will sow
Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go
I could feel the mystic power that she had at her commands
My instinct told me, she'd never, ever do me any harm
And I knew she could see through me, right down to me bones
Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go
And then she disappeared the same way she had come
I walked into that park amongst the leaves and the sun
I struggled to my feet and started walking down the road
Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go
Well, I tried so hard to contact that gypsy queen
And no matter how far, wide, I looked, she was nowhere to be seen
I'll always remember what she said me, I know
Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go
Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go
Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go
