Cher – Gypsies tramps and thieves Lyric

aus dem Album Greatest Hits 1965-1992

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
he road with us to Memphis
and papa would have 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 travelling 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

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
