"She was a witchy woman" is part of the lyrics of the song I heard, it is not from the Eagles, it is newer than that, I think.
I thought it might be from Bob Welsh (sp), but can't find any reference to him for the song.
Maybe it was supposed to be "She was a Gypsy woman"?? by Brian Hyland
"Gypsy Woman"
(As recorded by Brian Hyland)
CURTIS MAYFIELD
From nowhere through a caravan
Around a campfire light
A lovely woman in motion with hair as dark as night
Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark
They hypnotized me with love.
She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman.
She danced around and 'round to a guitar melody
From the fire her face was all aglow
How she enchanted me
Oh how I'd love to hold her near
And kiss and forever whisper in her ear.
I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman.
All through the caravan
She was dancing with all the men
Waiting for the rising sun, everyone was having fun
I hate to see the lady go, knowing she'll never know
That I love her, I love her.
Gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman
I love you gypsy woman.

Cool... I'm a big Bob Welch fan, but can't remember that exact line... could it be Ebony Eyes? Need to listen to those tunes again. Be sure to look for Fleetwood Mac as a possible search criteria because Bob was with them with he penned many of those great early 70s tunes. bp
