Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves

	I was born in the wagon of a traveling show
	My momma used to dance for the money they'd throw
	Papa would do whatever he could
	Preach a little Gospel
	Sell a couple bottles of Dr. Good



	Gypsies, tramps and thieves
	We'd hear it from the people of the town
	They'd call us
	Gypsies, 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 16, he was 21
	Rode with us to Memphis
	And Papa would've shot him if he knew what he'd done

	We'd hear it from the people of the town

	But every night all the men would come around
	And lay their money down



	I never had schooling
	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
	I haven't seen him for a while
