The Doors - Spanish Caravan

Spanish Caravan Lyric


Carry me Caravan, take me away
Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain
Andalusia with fields full of grain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan
Yes, I know you can
Trade winds find Galleons lost in the sea
I know where treasure is waiting for me
Silver and gold in the mountains of Spain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan
Yes, I know you can

Song Note : "Doors guitarist Robbie Krieger wrote this"

"The intro riff was taken from "Asturias," a Classical piece by Spanish composer Isaac Albeniz "

"Krieger played his guitar in a flamenco style. Some parts were processed through a fuzz box"

"Andalusia," which is referred to in the first verse, is the Southernmost area of Spain. It was repeatedly conquered by various groups until it was divided into 8 provinces in 1833
