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
