Ignore the video, it's the only one I could find with good audio quality.
I was born in the wagon of a travelling 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.
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 sixteen he was twenty one,
Rose with us to Memphis,
And 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,
But every night all the men would come around,
And lay their money down.
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.
