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
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 coinbox 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 the man who sang the song for your nickles and your dimes
Today you saw me play as I stopped along the way
Gypsy Songman passing by
