Cher - Gyplies, Tramps & Thieves

==================================



I was born in the wagon of a travellin?show



My mama used to dance for the money theyd throw



Papa would do whatever he could



Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good







Chorus:



Gypsys, tramps, and thieves



Wed hear it from the people of the town



Theyd 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 hed done







Chorus





I never had schoolin?but he taught me well



With his smooth southern style



Three months later Im a gal in trouble



And I havent seen him for a while, uh-huh



I havent seen him for a while, uh-huh







She was born in the wagon of a travellin?show



Her mama had to dance for the money theyd throw



Grandpad do whatever he could



Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good







Chorus till fade
