CHER - GYPSYS TRAMPS THIEVES LYRICS

Gypsys Tramps Thieves Lyrics

I was born in the wagon of a travellin' 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

CHORUS
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

CHORUS

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, uh-huh
I haven't 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 they'd throw
Grandpa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good

CHORUS
CHORUS FADES

There's an ongoing debate among me and my buddies (A friendly one of course) over who's family this song is more appropriate for.

God you guys, it's just a fuckin song! Just because you don't give a shit about gypsies and unplanned pregnancies doesn't mean you should go fuckin off talented artists. I bet you guys are just jelous of Cher's talent. Hah!

God, Cher isn't particularly addressing an opinion either way. She's just telling a damn story. Whether you sympathise with the protagonists or not, just let her tell it. I don't agree with a lot of what singers say, but I can still enjoy the songs.

the foul racists comments about this song have no place in society, let alone on a music web site. spineless wankers can't even put their name to the filth...

dianatalie	09/07/2003 08:32:23
All I know is this song kicks ass, and you guys are lame for saying crappy stuff about it.

I agree with gypsy jennifer! Besides, it's just a song that tells a story. The girl was born into that life. She really didn't have a choice. I blame the 21 year old boy who got her pregnant!

Have a heart, you guys. This song is about a family that can't afford to go to college so they can become millionaires. They are doing something to keep their family alive. Unlike you, you bums, just sitting around and cussing off every song that doesn't tickle your fancy! THERE IS NO SPOON 7 days...

Cher knows the truth!

This song title sounds like a description of all of the Eastern European scavengers trying to get into England!!They should all fuck off they are not welcome or wanted-begging with babies is despicable!!
