         Am                              C
I was born in the wagon of a traveling show,

My Mama used to dance for the money they'd throw,

Papa would do what - ever he could,

Preach a little gospel------,

Sell a couple bottles of 'Dr. Good'!

Gyp - sies,    tramps and thieves,

We'd hear it from the people of the town,
