Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves歌词

作词 : Robert Stone
作曲 : Robert Stone
I was born in the wagon of a travelin' 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 doctored brew

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 papa 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 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 travelin' 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 doctored brew

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
