Gypsy Songman

(album: Jerry Jeff - 2022)

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 seeing
This song is what you need
Gypsy Songman passing by

My whole life is a song and I'll share it with you now
Picking and a singing, I'll get by somehow
A dime'll help me please
A smile is all I need
Gypsy Songman passing by

Kids come a-running 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 swapping time
This song is for your dime
Gypsy Songman passing by, ooh-woo!

So, 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
