Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves lyrics

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

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

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
I haven't seen him for a while

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

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

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

Gypsys, tramps and thieves

My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
