Nirvana - Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves lyrics

[Nirvana - Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves lyrics]

I was born in the wagon of a travelling show
My momma used to dance for
The money they'd throw
Poppa 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 room and a hot meal
I was sixteen he was twenty one
Moving down to Florida
Poppa would've killed us if he
Knew what he'd done, yeah

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

She was born in the wagon
Of a travelling show
Her momma 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!
