Well the gypsy was a lady traveled all over this land
C G D7
The gypsy always traveled alone she never needed a man
G C
And the hobo was a drifter drifted from town to town
G D7 G
The last thing that the hobo needed was a woman to tie him down
D7 G C G
One night they met in a hobo jungle oh the sparks they flew
They fought just like two cats and dogs
D7
A settin' there eatin' their stew
G C
But the hobo's heart was a-melting and the gypsy's was on fire
G D7 G
And that night in a hobo jungle they were lost in wild desire
C G
Now the gypsy and the hobo traveled all over this land
C G D7
Border to border and shore to shore they traveled hand in hand
G C
So watch the rails and highways wherever you may go
G D7 G
You may see the gypsy lady and the wandering hobo
D7 G C G
One night they met in a hobo jungle oh the sparks they flew
They fought just like two cats and dogs
D7
A settin' there eatin' their stew
G C
But the hobo's heart was a-melting and the gypsy's was on fire
G D7 G
And that night in a hobo jungle they were lost in wild desire
C G D7 G
Yeah the gypsy lady and the wandering hobo were lost in wild desire
Well the gypsy was a lady traveled all over this land

The gypsy always traveled alone she never needed a man
