Verse 1:
  
        Am                     C
 I was born in the wagon of a traveling show
     Dm                         F
 My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
  C             Em      Am
 Papa'd do whatever he could
  Dm                      F
 Preach a little gospel
  G                            C
 Sell a couple bottles of Dr. Good

Chorus:

 Fmaj7 C   Fmaj7        C
 Gypsies, tramps and thieves
     Fmaj7              C           Fmaj7          C
 We'd hear it from the people of the town, they'd call us
 Fmaj7 C   Fmaj7        C
 Gypsies, tramps and thieves
 Am                       G                F
 But every night all the men would come around
       [1,3: Am   2: Dm C  Dm C; to bridge]
 And lay their money down

Verse 2:

 Picked up a boy this side of Mobile
 Gave him a ride, fed him with a hot meal
 I was 16, he was 21
 Rode with us to Memphis
 And Papa would have shot him if he knew what he'd done

 [chorus]

Bridge:

 Dm         C                Dm        C
 Never had schoolin' but he taught me well
           Dm      C       Dm    C
 With his smooth Southern style
  Dm            C         Dm       C
 Three months later I'm a gal in trouble
       Dm            C        Fmaj7
 And I haven't seen him for a while
                          Cmaj7     Fmaj7
 I haven't seen him for a while

Verse 3:

 She was born in the wagon of a traveling show
 Her mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
 Grandpa'd do whatever he could
 Preach a little gospel
 Sell a couple bottles of Dr. Good
