Gypsies,Tramps and Thieves |
I was born in the wagon of a travellin' show |
My mama used to dance for the money they’d throw |
Papa would do whatever he could |
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good |
Gypsys, tramps, and thieves |
We’d hear it from the people of the town |
They’d call us Gypsys, tramps, and thieves |
But every night all the men would come around |
And lay their money down |
Picked up a boy just south of Mobile Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal I was sixteen, |
he was twenty-one |
Rode with us to Memphis |
And papa woulda shot him if he knew what he’d done |
I never had schoolin' but he taught me well |
With his smooth southern style |
Three months later I’m a gal in trouble |
And I haven’t seen him for a while, uh-huh I haven’t seen him for a while, |
uh-huh |
She was born in the wagon of a travellin' show |
Her mama had to dance for the money they’d throw |
Grandpa’d do whatever he could |
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good |
