Текст песни Gypsy Songman - Steve Earle

I'm a Gypsy Songman, yes sir, would you like to hear a song?
Pick it for you now, I'll 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
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, oh

Kids come a-runnin' as I pass by, they all wanna see
"Hey, Gypsy Songman, play a song for me"
Their eyes glued on the strings, dancing as I sing

Gypsy Songman passing by

I got a stage on every corner, hall on every street
My hat is my coin box, this song is what you need
Now it's swappin' time, this song is for your dime

Gypsy Songman passing by

For as I leave you now, please remember me this time
I'm the man who sang the song for your nickels and your dimes
Today you saw me play as I stopped along the way

Gypsy Songman passing by
