[Verse 1] I'm Gypsy Songman, yes sir, you'd like to hear a song Well I'll pick it for you now and play it all night long If the blues is all you see This song is what you need Gypsy Songman passing by [Verse 2] My whole life is a song and I'll share it with you now Just a-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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 This song is for your dime Gypsy Songman passing by [Verse 5] So as I leave you now, please remember me this time I'm a man who sang a song for your nickels and your dimes Today you saw me play As I stopped along the way Gypsy Songman passing by
