Dokken - Cry Of The Gypsy Lyrics






You say I'm a restless soul
I don't mind
If living this way is right
I guess I want to be wrong

You can say anything you like
Still it's my life
If I'm on the run
It's my freedom of choice
Sometimes I can't take anymore

I got that feeling
Don't wanna stay
It's got me reeling
You know what they say (hey)

Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy in me

Sometimes, yeah, I feel so alone
But I don't mind
As long as you don't close me in
Everything will be just fine

Don't tell me about society
Don't want to hear anymore
I got my own cross to bear
And it's a heavy load

Sometimes I feel it
And I just wanna get out
Must be a reason
That I just wanna shout (hey)

Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy in me
The cry of the gypsy
It's the cry
Cry of the gypsy in me

Hey

The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Yeah I'm feeling it now
The cry of the gypsy
Yeah it's calling for me
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the cry of the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
The cry..the cry of the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy in me

Dokken Cry Of The Gypsy Comments
  1. G.... T....

    Fuck yea

  2. H.... V....

    🔥 dokken 🔥 70s 80s in Miami still with some vodka

  3. K.... G....

    *Badassness*

  4. F.... F....

    TOP FIVE METAL ALBUMS OF ALL TIMES ! 🙌✨✨✨✨✨🙌

  5. A.... S....

    George lynch. Guitar God
    🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

  6. D.... M....

    One of the top bands of the 80s and in my opinion were THE best at one point.. Not so much 'underrated' but definitely UNDER-APPRECIATED.

  7. S.... ....

    24 people would not know good music if it hopped up and bit them in the ass.

  8. T.... ....

    nice butta prefer clearly the Cry by ARP and of course the gipsy Kweenie by Uriah heep.

  9. R.... S....

    EDDIE WHOOO?

  10. r.... s....

    i'm coming up on my anniversary when i bled to death out in the woods i remember me

  11. 4.... 3....

    Guitar is Something!

  12. E.... B....

    CLASSIC MY FAVORITE DOKKEN TRACK I CAN RELATE TO THIS SONG IT TOUCHED ME

  13. C.... V....

    Hands down one of the most underrated guitarists of all time!

    C.... V....

    Nah! Hes a Guitar hero and everybody knows it.

    C.... V....

    Clayton V evh comes nowhere close

    C.... V....

    Lynch is universally regarded as one of the best, most unique sounding guitarists of the genre.

  14. 4.... 3....

    Worlds Best Band! no doubt!

  15. s.... ....

    So glad I grew up in the 80's with this awesomeness! Dokken! 🤘🤘

    s.... ....

    I totally agree the 80s had and still have the best times and music ever never will it be outdone

  16. M.... C....

    When your old lady starts talking shit

  17. T.... H....

    I read an article when this album came out and George said he used higher wattage tubes in his amps to get a warmer and more distorted sound and burned through them quick. He also stated he used quarters for picks for a metal on metal sound. All with a lot of alcohol.

    T.... H....

    Tyson Hoahwah also his jeckl tone setting ate speakers like camdy

    T.... H....

    I bought one of his Marshall amps sold thrue a privately held sell in mid 90in sc

    T.... H....

    Tyson Hoahwah ,that's awesome,i love using quarters as picks,i heard Billy gibbons uses an old fifty cent gold coin that's what gives zz too that unique sound

  18. J.... J....

    always rocked with them...

  19. D.... J....

    Great record!

  20. F.... F....

    Best solo on the album.. and that says a lot!!

    F.... F....

    fuqin vibrato, just killer. I think back then, no mistake, best in the entire world

    F.... F....

    Frederik Fabricius kiss of death is the best but this kicks ass! I still feel like this whole album was not only their best but far ahead of what other bands were doing then. George Lynch is way ahead of any other guitarists with his fast legato runs, double stops, virtuosity and tone

    F.... F....

    @Champ39 absolutely.100 percent. I heard this when I was fucking ten years old and nothing compares to this fucking album and.it 2019.

  21. W.... M....

    think that George lynch is a beast..

    W.... M....

    William Miller no question! Kicks evhs ass

  22. L.... ....

    Beautiful clean powerful note at 4:28
    Great singer.
    Phenomenal guitarist

    BUEN ROLLO CADA VEZ QUE TE VEO , HEAVY METAL AL PODER,SALUDOS COMPADRE.

  24. m.... l....

    Don Dokken the best!

  25. C.... B....

    The guitar work on this is spectacular, you just don't hear that kind of playing anymore....not like that. such a level above what you hear today

    C.... B....

    wow, thank you!!!! much appreciated!!!

    C.... B....

    Man I just recorded with my band, and they just don't give you much time now for your solos, no way they'll give you like one whole day for your solo on one song to get it sounding perfect like they probably did for just the the fills on that song alone

    C.... B....

    This is badass song, I personally think one of the best by Dokken.

    C.... B....

    don soucy, figure it out before you record?

    C.... B....

    Christopher Bla

  26. R.... U....

    dont tell me about society, dont wanna hear anymore
    i got my own cross to bear and its a heavy load

  27. o.... T....

    George fucken lynch

  28. M.... ....

    Great song. From the Chicago Serb

  29. G.... ....

    what is george doing on the strings to get that sound at 3:46?  that sounds so awesome.  that has got to be some heavy duty speed picking? just a rookie at this guitar rock thing.

    G.... ....

    What he did there sounded like a rotating harmonic, it sounds cool.

    G.... ....

    I think he's hammering with his left fingers and palm muting with the edge of his right hand while running his right hand up the strings. Eddie used to do it a lot, but George adds his own amazing speed and flare here. It sounds awesome!!!

    G.... ....

    he's hammering with his left hand and sliding his right palm down the fret board giving off harmonic sounds..Eddie was the first I ever saw to do it.

  30. K.... H....

    classic tune it's a good one

  31. L.... V....

    I have heard guitarists make horse sounds, an elephant and other various animal sounds but the best and most organic has to be my favorite George Lynch with a donkey sound (3:03-3:06) with feeling.

    L.... V....

    Thats funny man.

    L.... V....

    @Lou Villanova
    Dude, that was fuckin' funny!  ee-onhh, ee-onhh, ee-onhh, ee-onhh, ee-onhh, ee-onhh

  32. D.... ....

    Proof that 2 egos can make majic

  33. D.... ....

    Proof that egos can make majic

  34. J.... W....

    Man the production on this album is amazing, even on yt

  35. J.... C....

    Haha it's alright, I'm not normally the type to vent off in that way :P

  36. P.... ....

    take a chill pill, but yeah you're right!

  37. J.... C....

    My God. I love this music so much, but holy shit are some of you fans annoying. Really doesn't give a good image to the fan base.

    "Durr all the bands today are talentless fags"
    "Good thing Kurt shot himself, GRUNGE SUCKS!"
    "I'm 12 and I listen to this; bow down to my superior musical knowledge!"

    Put simply, on behalf of a music student, my message to these types of 80's and classic rock fans:
    Music is subjective. Shut the fuck up.

  38. l.... p....

    i like everythig about dokken, lynch mob and tooth and nail.

  39. M.... T....

    We didn't call them "hair bands" - we called 'em headbanger bands.

  40. L.... ....

    I'm in Northern CA!! I'm one of the rare ones that STILL love 80's metal!!!

  41. c.... ....

    hairbands is a vh1 term.we didnt call them that in the 80's.

  42. j.... ....

    This solo can not be fucked with .

  43. j.... ....

    I am sick and tired of the term "hair bands"... there was quite a bit of great music back in the days, alot better than the shit that is out there nowdays!

    "Ohh, look at how aloof I am, I am sooo much better than anything else in the world, I am God's gift to this world... " FUCK it makes me sick!!! Artists like Dokken are great guys who usually are approachable, they don't blow you off like you are a piece of dirt and their shit don't stink... I say we should nuke the new bands today!!!

  44. v.... k....

    love dokken! this song reminds me of my youth.lol

  45. T.... H....

    3:45 to 3:49...just icing on the cake. rock on lynch!

  46. A.... K....

    One of Dokken/Lynch's best, I think! Killer riffs, catchy chorus. Great tone, great tune.

  47. b.... ....

    They are more than just a hair band.

  48. C.... S....

    A damn shame they broke up and broke the momentum they had built up as a band, They were getting better and better with each album, back for the attack was the album that really started getting them noticed here in the u.k., one more studio album like this, and i reckon they would have had a huge following among England's metal heads. George was one of the reasons i learned to play guitar, A very,very gifted player!!

  49. j.... w....

    fuckin 0 dislikes jesus christ mr. lynch is GOD, i can currently play the first 12 seconds of this song before my guitar says to me " what the fuck"

  50. b.... ....

    I remember my uncle (who was 18 upon this album's release) had this t-shirt after returning from their concert. He used to play this album so much the needle on his record player wore out.

  51. b.... ....

    The best album they ever did!!! Lynch Kicked Ass on this one!!! I think he had the best tone on this album!!!

  52. c.... c....

    THIS IS A GUITAR SOLO, FUCK!

  53. G.... A....

    Solo is sick....so aweasome some of their bes work

  54. m.... ....

    Prolly their best song!

  55. j.... m....

    @alientothisplace hell yeah

  56. j.... m....

    this guitar solo rip's..............holy shite

  57. D.... S....

    this band kicks ass so hard

  58. L.... ....

    gypsy inside me cries 80s music to come back

  59. c.... ....

    @Billsfan909 Absolutly, That is FUCKIN CRAZY guitar work.G Lynch is one of the best ever.

  60. K.... F....

    Dokken + Guitar+Bass+Vocals+Drums=Pure Awesomeness.

  61. E.... ....

    George is insane on this song!!! Amazing!!!

  62. c.... ....

    This is absolutely one of the best ever....and Dokken's best by far.

    Mr. Scary soars on this...as well as Don's vocals...AMAZING!!!

  63. t.... b....

    great song!!!!

  64. b.... ....

    best hair band album of all!!

  65. J.... R....

    Rock it Dokken!! Miss the 80's!!

  66. t.... ....

    One of GL's best solos.

  67. E.... ....

    Hell Yea man I just went to the Thrift store with a couple bucks I earned by mowing laws and found this album yes LP in MINT condition for $2 even the sleve inside was in perfect condition... I love it.
    Rock on

  68. n.... ....

    I agree....this is the best they did. Every song is really good

  69. r.... ....

    Don's catchy energetic chorus combined with Lynch's masterful playing makes this a true classic.

  70. v.... ....

    damn George Lynch is good. He just goes spaztic on the guitar.

  71. G.... H....

    some mother fucking piece of fuck keeps calling me from random numbers (including my moms) and plays this song into the phone repeatedly... and i like it.

  72. D.... D....

    agreed, but never gonna happen

  73. L.... V....

    My favorite guitar lick by Lynch, I call it "the donkey yell" starting at 3:04. Who else can make a jackass sound kickass? Only George Lynch can!

  74. t.... ....

    One of my favourite solos. George is amazing on this record.

  75. E.... ....

    Ohh yeah and the solo still gives me goose bumps!!!!

  76. E.... ....

    I love the Goerge Lynch shredding.....

  77. P.... D....

    Lynch is the king of pinch harmonics, IMO.
