April Wine is an incredible band, even if most of their hits are cover songs (this one, coulda been a lady, bad side of the moon). Another Canadian band, this time hailing from Nova Scotia, they picked the name April Wine because they thought the two words sounded cool together. This song helped April Wine have their first international platinum selling album. They actually received a little bit if luck as earlier in their career they were set to play a show in Toronto with a band called the 'cockroaches". It was a very well known fact however that the band was actually the Rolling Stones, and people flocked to see them. This gave April Wine a new fan-base, and they opened for a bit for the Rolling Stones as well as Rush, helping them cement their way into rock and roll fame.

Sign of the Gypsy Queen
Lightning smokes on the hillrise
Brought the man with the warning light
Shouting loud, "You had better fly"
While the darkness can help you hide
Trouble's coming without control
No one's staying that's got a hope
Hurricane at the very least
In the words of the gypsy queen
Sign of the gypsy queen
Pack your things and leave
Word of a woman who knows
Take all your gold and you go
Get my saddle and tie it on
Western wind who is fast and strong
Jump on back, he's good and long
Well resist till we reach the dawn
Running seems like the best offense
Staying just don't make any sense
No one could ever stop it now
Show the cards of the gypsy town
Sign of the gypsy queen
Pack your things and leave
Word of a woman who knows
Take all your gold and you go
Shadows moving without a sound
From the hold of the sleepless town
Evil seems to be everywhere
Heed the spirit that brought despair
Trouble's coming without control
No one's staying thats got a hope
Hurricane at the very least
In the words of the gypsy queen
Sign of the gypsy queen
Pack your things and leave
Word of a woman who knows
Take all your gold and you go
Sign of the gypsy queen
Pack your things and leave
Word of a woman who knows
Take all your gold and you go
Sign of the gypsy queen
Pack your things and leave
Word of a woman who knows
Take all your gold and you go
