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
