I'm Gypsy Songman yessir you'd like to hear a song
                                             C
Well I'll pick it for you now and play it all night long
         F
If the blues is all you see this song is what you need
C           G           C
Gypsy Songman passing by

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

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

I've got as stage on every corner got a hall on every street
My hat is my coinbox this song is what you need
It's just a swapping time, this 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 nickles and your dimes
Today you saw me play as I stopped along the way
Gypsy Songman passing by
