Story about this misheard lyric by: Lou My teenage son heard me singing "Gypsy" one day when it came on the radio. He told me I was singing the song with the wrong words. I said I had been singing "Gypsy" since I was his age back in 1982. He brought up a live performance from Fleetwood Mac on YouTube. And sure enough, he was right. |
