Hear the original track at this link:

FINE TUNING: If you want to play along with the original
studio recording the track is quite flat of standard pitch.
The backing track's tempo must have been thought to be a
little to fast, and slowing down the tape altered the pitch.
Using a chromatic tuner, de-tune all your strings by approx.
(minus) -40cents, to closer match the pitch of the track.
Alternatively, live concert versions are likely to be in
standard pitch, but their arrangements may vary.

[Verse 1]
      Am                     C
I was born in the wagon of a traveling show,
   Dm7                        F
My Mama used to dance for the money they'd throw,
C                    Em    * Amadd9  Am/E   Amadd9  Am/E
Papa would do what - ever he could,
D7                      Dm7
Preach a little gospel------,
Dm7/G                        C
Sell a couple bottles of 'Dr. Good'!

[Chorus 1]
Fmaj7 Cmaj7  Fmaj7      Cmaj7
Gyp - sies,  tramps and thieves,
     Fmaj7            Cmaj7         Fmaj7
We'd hear it from the people of the town, 
       Cmaj7   Fmaj7  Cmaj7  Fmaj7      Cmaj7
They'd call us gyp  - sies,  tramps and thieves,
Am                  G                 Fmaj7
    But every night all the men would come around,
                  * Amadd9  Am/E    Amadd9  Am/E
And lay their money down!

[Verse 2]
Am                    C
Picked up a boy, just south of Mobile,
Dm7                         F
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal,
C                     Em   * Amadd9  Am/E   Amadd9  Am/E
I was sixteen, he was twenty one,
D7                       Dm7
Rode with us to Memphis-------,
    Dm7/G                                         C
And Papa would have shot him if he knew what he'd done

[Chorus 2]
Fmaj7 Cmaj7  Fmaj7      Cmaj7
Gyp - sies,  tramps and thieves,
     Fmaj7            Cmaj7         Fmaj7
We'd hear it from the people of the town, 
       Cmaj7   Fmaj7  Cmaj7  Fmaj7      Cmaj7
They'd call us gyp  - sies,  tramps and thieves,
Am                  G                    Fmaj7
    But every night ...all the men would come around,
N.C.
And lay their money down!

  Dm        C                 Dm        C
I never had schooling, but he taught me well,
         Dm     C        Dm      C
With his smooth southern style,
Dm           C           Dm     C
Three months later I'm a gal in trouble,
      Dm           C   Dm7   Cmaj7       Fmaj7
And I haven't seen him for a while,  oh, hoh!
                   Cmaj7                  Fmaj7
I haven't seen him for a while, oh, hoh - oh!
