Gypsy Songman

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
