Sonny & Cher - Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves Lyrics






I was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good

[Chorus:]
"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 sixteen, he was twenty-one
Rode with us to Memphis
And papa would of shot him if he knew what he'd done

[Chorus]

Never had schoolin' 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, oh
I haven't seen him for a while, oh

She was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
Her mama had to dance for the money they'd throw
Grandpa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good

[Chorus]

  1. G.... P....

    HE might have been the one that sold bibles.

  2. G.... P....

    There was this good looking guy on a Harley and he had on tote a 7 year old girl with long hair...tangled...he took her in a building somewhere and told the man behind the desk..."I CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH HER"....then the dream ended.

  3. g.... ....

    Sexy cher 70t vogue

  4. J.... B....

    Not that I don't like this song but it needs to stop coming up in my Matchbox 20 playlist >.>

  5. T.... R....

    I'd lay my money down for some of that!

  6. L.... T....

  8. S.... S....

    Beautiful lady ❤️

  9. K.... C....

    She is so gorgeous.

  10. J.... T....

    Ohhh geez- she's sooo off tune 😒🙉

  11. B.... 7....

    Hangin' with Mr Cooper brought me here lol

  12. b.... ....

    A great song, they don't make em like this anymore.

  13. S.... S....

    One of a kind beauty then and now

  14. R.... ....

    To me her teeth are fine, but I get the feeling she is self conscious of them and tries to hide them behind the microphone and her lips.

  15. V.... D....

    Would have been worth it just to watch her when she made love to you.

  16. L.... C....

    My first album with Cher.

  17. s.... ....

    Man was she a knockout

  18. y.... d....

    To bad she turned out to be a never trumper.

  19. C.... M....

    I dont think Cher's hair is big enough here.

  20. S.... P....

    How can this be acceptable in today's modern society where being racist ti gypsies is okay but to black people not
    Im not saying u should be racist towards black people or any other minority im saying people need to wake up and not be racist towards gypsies cause after all they also have been in Hitler's camps just like the Jews but no one talks about those things

  21. S.... C....

    Don't know why she had plastic surgery. She certainly didn't need it. I've always loved Cher!

  22. W.... D....

    Man she sings with attitude and a hell of a lot of sexy, so at home in front of the camera

  23. F.... M....

    Love this kind of music

  24. A.... b....

    Cher, to her great credit, has made many visits to veterans in hospitals.

  27. p.... ....

  28. J.... B....

    She is so.young.This must be about 50 years ago

  29. A.... t....

  31. D.... W....

  32. H.... 5....

    Since the death of Kobe 24, I have to take stock of my life and where I was as a kid. Thanks Kobe for helping me reflect on my life.

  33. A.... D....

    Gypsy tramps and queens ley money down other legend

  34. L.... f....

    I would have shot that 21 years old kid too...😎😎

  35. M.... ....

    RIP to the 500 horses laid to rest to create this fabulous hairdo

  36. P.... E....

    I’m here in 2020, still a fantastic song, and still one of the best looking women in the world!

  37. S.... H....

    Such skill, talent and BEAUTY !

  38. S.... N....

    Well, you are all 3!!!!!!!!

  39. T.... N....

    SHE HAD A VOICE AND USED IT WELL!!💕💕💕

  40. A.... R....

    Everyone knows a girl or two with that look on their face. It’s naughty but nice. JLaw has the same look. 😉

  41. y.... ....

    Now I know where this song comes from, first and only time I heard it was in The Tenth Kingdom, being song by "Anthony", not the right time and place haha ;]

  42. T.... M....

    We R not tramps, thieves . we R Roma / gypsies.. Iam a 💯 % gypsy lady n very proud of my ppl. N culture we R very misunderstood ppl. A mestery. But we still love this song n this beautiful sexy woman . she actually give a public apology to the Roma for this song bk. In the day. Believe it or not. Thanks cher we 💘 you...

  43. M.... G....

    This sadly would be protested today. We need to quit, really. This is a great work of art.

    M.... G....

    Exactly forget the politics and enjoy it for what it is. A long lasting, quality song. Some thing sadly lacking these days

  44. J.... G....

    My first favorite song. My first 45. I was in kindergarten. True story.

  45. J.... L....

    One out of three can you guess

  46. T.... B....

    I simply went ‘gaga’ over this song when it first came out!! 🥴

  47. J.... K....

    One fantastic song , so I had to cover this ..

  48. Z.... R....

    Daaaaaang........those hips!

  49. G.... ....

    Cher always was a whore

  50. P.... ....

    Cher was so beautiful back then, until Shittywood got a hold of her.

  51. A.... B....

    Sunny was lucky i wasnt a live back then cause i would have stolen her from him in a heart beat when i look into her eyes i can feel her soul

  52. T.... ....

    saw this on a late night tv ad and man this is a great upbeat song

  53. G.... ....

    Ants, Rats, and Gypsy Moths

  54. m.... b....

    Cher Australia wants you here now!

  55. p.... l....

    Isn`t this man hating feminist hag dead yet?

  56. J.... s....

    yeah well as a person of ethnic back ground you would think she would not help to hurt others more , she is native and albainian i am native and romany and this hurt us more not made it better

  57. B.... c....

    The annoying thing is AGT or BGT or The Voice wouldn't entertain taking her on now, yet that is how to carry a tune. Like Sinatra, it's all about the way they interpret the song, not about how good a singer you are.

  58. J.... S....

    This makes my 2 inch dick wake up. It ain't good for nothing.

  59. A.... J....

    Who knew? She fits into All categories!😂😂😂😂. She would even laugh at the joke. Singing her "Own" theme song, way back then.😘😂😂😂. Love Cher!

  60. G.... W....

    THIS is why CHER is CHER you GO GURL

  61. R.... B....

    From beginning to end Cher makes sweet love to that camera. That is the fine art of seduction. Not sacrificing your virtue by way of exposing 75% of your body or faking a wardrobe malfunction so that nothing is left to the imagination.

  62. J.... L....

  63. E.... K....

    Loved Cher since I was a kid. Eddies wife cheryl

  64. T.... S....

    I liked Cher's teeth before the caps. They made her look very unique and gave her mouth lips a nice shape.

  65. D.... M....

    The shit nirvana version is WAY BETTER

  66. E.... W....

    When I was 7 I used to listen to this with my neighbor

  67. H.... L....

    She's no Richie Sakai

  68. R.... H....

    Patsy Cline OMG number ONE in the world and then Cher. Each from different times an places so awesome

  69. L.... C....

    GOOD NOT LIKE WHAT YOU HEAR TO DAY

  70. J.... T....

    too bad her daughter turned into a freak show and cher is on her 200th plastic surgery.

  71. G.... ....

    I looked into the hole of "deliciousness" as though I was looking into a "backdoor" of a hole of a 45 album that is defined as:

    "The most common form of the vinyl single is the "45" or "7-inch". The names are derived from its play speed, 45 rpm, and the standard diameter, 7 inches. The 7-inch 45 rpm record was released 31 March 1949 by RCA Victor as a smaller, more durable and higher-fidelity replacement for the 78 rpm shellac discs."

    And even though it was created in March 31, 1949 C.E. the deliciousness of the hole actually sang to "ME" as though the Sun sang to "ME." Thus, the deliciousness is as though it was ANGELS that also have the name Cherubim, and they guard "The Tree Of Life" with a flaming sword. And now "EYE SEE" the Sun in a different way, and I hear the Sun in a different way, and now Sunglasses have a special meaning to "I."


    And what is so funny about my comment placed here is that the love of my life that is a brunette gave me a beautiful headdress with jewels that a Gypsy would wear to his life and his death in remembrance of the deliciousness that can become the hole in time of a backdoor looking back in time itself, and that becomes the definition of "deliciousness!" EYE 5
