Gypsies,tramps And Thieves Lyrics - Cher

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 Doctor Good 

Gypsys, tramps, and thieves 

We'd hear it from the people of the town 

They'd 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 he'd done 

Gypsys, tramps, and thieves 

We'd hear it from the people of the town 

They'd call us gypsys, 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 girl in trouble 

And I haven't seen him for a while 

Oh, no, 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 Doctor Good 

Gypsys, tramps, and thieves 

We'd hear it from the people of the town 

They'd call us gypsys, tramps, and thieves 

But every night all the men would come around 

And lay their money down 

Gypsys, tramps, and thieves 

We'd hear it from the people of the town 

They'd call us gypsys, tramps, and thieves 

But every night all the men would come around 

And lay their money down.
