[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   * Amadd9  Am/E   Amadd9  Am/E
Papa would do what - ever he could,        |  /  /   /  / |
  D                      Dm7
Preach a little gospel------,
Dm7/G                          C
Sell a couple bottles of Dr. Good!


[Chorus 1]
Fmaj7  Cmaj7  Fmaj7       Cmaj7
 Gyp - sies,  tramps and thieves,
     Fmaj7            Cmaj7         Fmaj7
We'd hear it from the people of the town, 
       Cmaj7   Fmaj7  Cmaj7  Fmaj7       Cmaj7
They'd call us gyp  - sies,  tramps and thieves,
Am                   G                Fmaj7
    But every night all the men would come around,
                  * Amadd9  Am/E    Amadd9  Am/E
And lay their money down!         |  /  /   /  /  |

  Amadd9  Am/E    Amadd9  Am/E

[Verse 2]
  Am                    C
Picked up a boy, just south of Mobile,
 Dm                          F
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal,
C                       Em  * Amadd9  Am/E   Amadd9  Am/E
I was sixteen, he was twenty  one,          |  /  /   /  / |
 D                       Dm7
Rode with us to Memphis-------,
    Dm7/G                                           C
And Papa would have shot him if he knew what he'd done!


[Chorus 2]
Fmaj7  Cmaj7  Fmaj7       Cmaj7
 Gyp - sies,  tramps and thieves,
     Fmaj7            Cmaj7         Fmaj7
We'd hear it from the people of the town, 
       Cmaj7   Fmaj7  Cmaj7  Fmaj7       Cmaj7
They'd call us gyp  - sies,  tramps and thieves,
Am                  G                    Fmaj7
    But every night ...all the men would come around,

And lay their money down!


[Bridge]

|  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |

   Dm          C                Dm        C
I never had schooling, 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   Dm7   Cmaj7           Fmaj7
And I haven't seen him for a while----,  Oh, hoh----!
                  Cmaj7                      Fmaj7
I haven't seen him for a while---------! Oh, hoh -oh----!

My Mama had to dance for the money they'd throw,
  C                  Em   * Amadd9  Am/E    Amadd9  Am/E
Grandpa'd do what - ever he could,
  D                      Dm7
Preach a little gospel------,
Dm7/G                          C
Sell a couple bottles of Dr. Good!
