Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves

I was born in the wagon of a travelling show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of Doctors brew
Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town they'd call us
Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
And every night all the men would come around
And lay there money down

I picked up a boy just south of ______
Gave him a ride with a hot meal
I was sixteen, he was twenty-one
Drove with us to Memphis
Papa would've shot him if he knew what he'd done

Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town they'd call us
Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
And every night all the men would come around
And lay there money down

I never had school but he taught me well
With his smooth Southern style
Three months later I'm a girl in trouble
And I haven't seen him for a while

She was born in the wagon of a travelling show
Her mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Granpa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of Doctors brew
Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town they'd call us
Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
And every night all the men would come around
And lay there money down
