[Ray Wylie Hubbard - Gypsies Got the Right to Steal lyrics]
At time when a-Pilate washed his hands
Had a man gonna scratch out his number
Gonna take him to some hills and
Nail him to some lumber
Had a nail for his feet and one for each hand
Even had a nail for the
Heart of the soulful man
But a Gypsy stole the nail
There on Calvary's hill
Jesus said, "Thank you, boys
Y'all got the right to steal"
Gypsy, Gypsies got the right to steal
Like a doctor has got the right to heal
'Cause at the cross before they could start
A Gypsy stole the nail that
Was meant for Jesus' heart
Jesus was on the cross with
Thorns on his head just the night before
He'd had his fortune read
A voice told him this
And I'll tell you what it said
Said, "Son, this time tomorrow
You're gonna have your"
Gypsy, Gypsies got the right to steal
Like a doctor has got the right to heal
'Cause at the cross before they could start
A Gypsy stole the nail that
Was meant for Jesus' heart
Gypsy, Gypsies got the right to steal
Just like a doctor has got the right to heal
'Cause at the cross before they could start
A Gypsy stole the nail that
Was meant for Jesus' heart
