Preach a little gospel

Sell a couple bottles of Dr. Good

Chorus:

Gypsies, tramps and thieves

Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C

We'd hear it from the people of the town, they'd call us

Am G F

But every night all the men would come around

[1,3: Am 2: Dm C Dm C; to bridge]

And lay their money down

Verse 2:

Picked up a boy this side of Mobile

Gave him a ride, fed him with a hot meal

I was 16, he was 21

Rode with us to Memphis

And Papa would have shot him if he knew what he'd done

[chorus]

Bridge:

Dm C Dm C

Never had schoolin' but he taught me well

Dm C Dm C

With his smooth Southern style

Dm C Dm C

Three months later I'm a gal in trouble

And I haven't seen him for a while

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

I haven't seen him for a while

Verse 3:

Her mama used to dance for the money they'd throw

Grandpa'd do whatever he could

Preach a little gospel

Sell a couple bottles of Dr. Good
