Gypsy Songman - Jerry Jeff Walker

I’m Gypsy Songman, yes sir, you’d like to hear a song

Well I’ll pick it for you now and play it all night long

If the blues is all you see

This song is what you need

Gypsy Songman passing by

My whole life is a song and I’ll share it with you now

Just a-pickin' and a singin', I’ll get by somehow

A dime would help me please

A smile is all I need

Gypsy Songman passing by

Kids come a runnin' as I pass by.

they all want to see

Say «Hey Gypsy Songman, play a song for me»

Their eyes glued on the strings

Dancin' as I sing

Gypsy Songman passing by

I’ve got as stage on every corner, got a hall on every street

My hat is my coin box, this song is what you need

It’s just a-swapping time

This song is for your dime

Gypsy Songman passing by

So as I leave you now, please remember me this time

I’m a man who sang a song for your nickels and your dimes

Today you saw me play

As I stopped along the way

Gypsy Songman passing by
