Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves Lyrics - The Very Best Of Cher - Cher

I was born in the wagon of a traveling show 

My momma used to dance for the money they'd throw 

Papa would do whatever he could 

Preach a little Gospel, sell a couple bottles of Dr. 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 16, he was 21, rode with us to Memphis 

And papa would've shot 'im if he knew what he'd done

With his smooth, southern style 

Three months later I'm a gal in trouble 

And I haven't seen him for a while, oh ho 

I haven't seen him for a while, oh ho
