Gypsy Songman Lyrics - Live From Dixie's Bar & Bus Stop - Jerry Jeff Walker

I'm Gypsy Songman, yes sir, you'd like to hear my song 

Pick it for you now, play it all night long 

If blues is all you see, this song is what you need 

Gypsy Songman passing by 

Yeah, 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 by 

Kids come a runnin' as I pass by, they all want to see 

Say, "Hey, Gypsy Songman, play a song for me" 

[Incomprehensible] 

Gypsy Songman passing by 

I've got as stage on every corner, got a hall on every street 

My hat is my coin box, this song is what you need 

It's just a swapping time, a 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 nickels and your dimes 

Today you saw me play as I stopped along the way 

Gypsy Songman passing by 

Yeah, I'm Gypsy Songman, yes sir, you'd like to hear my song 

Pick it for you now, play it all night long 

If blues is all you see, this song is what you need 

Gypsy Songman passing by, just a Gypsy Songman passing by
