Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves Lyrics in English Cher
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves by Cher from Spanish to English.
I was born in the wagon of a travellin' show
I was born in the wagon of a traveling show
My Mama used to dance for
My Mama used to dance for
The money they'd throw
The money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good
Gypsys, tramps and thieves
Gypsys, tramps and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps and thieves
They'd call us gypsies, tramps and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
And lay their money down
Picked up a boy just south of Mobile
Picked up a boy just south of Mobile
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal
I was sixteen, he was twenty-one
I was sixteen, he was twenty-one
Rode with us to Memphis

And Papa would'a shot him if
And Papa would'a shot him if
He knew what he'd done

Gypsys, tramps and thieves
Gypsys, 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
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
And lay their money down
I never had schoolin' but he taught me well
I never had schoolin' but he taught me well
With his smooth southern style
With his smooth southern style
Three months later I'm a gal in trouble
Three months later I'm a gal in trouble
And I haven't seen him for a while, oh
And I haven't seen him for a while, oh
I haven't seen him for a while, oh
I haven't seen him for a while, oh
She was born in the wagon of a travelin' show

Grandpa'd do whatever he could

Preach a little gospel

Sell a couple bottles of doctor good

But every night all the men would come around

And lay their money down
And lay their money down
