Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves - Lady Diva
I was born in the wagon
Of a traveling show
My Momma used to dance
For the money they'd throw
Poppa 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
Rode with us to Memphis
And Poppa woulda 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
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, oh
I haven't seen him for a while, oh
She was born in the wagon
Of a traveling show
Her Momma 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
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
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
Gypsies, tramps and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps and thieves
