Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves - Anti-Nowhere League

Well I was born in a wagon of a travelling show

Mumma used to dance for the money they’d throw

Grandpa did whatever he could

He used to preach a little bible

And fill a couple of bottles of doctor’s good

Gypsies, tramps & thieves

We hear it from the town

Gypsies, tramps & thieves

Our kids would come around

And lay their money down

Picked up this young girl while out in my car

Took her for a ride, but took her too far

She’s sixteen, I’m twenty-one

I had to take her down to Brighton

Her daddy would’ve shot me

If he knew what I’d done

Gypsies, tramps & thieves

Well we hear it from the town

Gypsies, tramps & thieves

Well our kids would come around

And lay your money down

I’m a gypsy king with a sovereign ring

I’m a sweet talking guy

You gave me a gun so I’m out on the run

And you’ll not see me for a while…

You’ll not see me for a while
