Gypsies, tramps and thievesCher

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 him if he knew what he'd done

I never had schooling
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
I haven't seen him for a while

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

吉普赛、流浪汉与小偷　雪儿

我是在一辆巡回表演的马车上出生的
我妈妈为那些投钱的人们跳舞
爸爸则使出浑身解数
传一些福音
或卖几瓶膏药

「吉普赛、流浪汉与小偷！」
我们听到镇上的人们这么说着
他们叫我们：
「吉普赛、流浪汉与小偷！」
但是每晚人们还是会过来
投下钱来

在莫比镇南方载了一个男孩
让他撘便车，给他吃了一顿热食
我那时16岁，他21岁
他和我们一起到曼斐斯市
如果爸爸知道他干了什么好事，一定会射杀他

我从未受过学校教育
但他以圆滑的、南方人的方式教了我许多
三个月后我的肚子一天天的大了起来
而我已很久没看到他了
我已很久没看到他了

她是在一辆巡回表演的马车上出生的
她的妈妈为那些投钱的人们跳舞
爷爷则使出浑身解数
传一些福音
或卖几瓶膏药
