lyrics

WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY
MY MOMMA SAID SON DON'T COME AROUND HERE NO MORE

YOUR NEW DADDY HE THINKS YOUR A FOOL
HE SAID ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS PLAY AND SKIP SCHOOL

PLAY AROUND LONG ENOUGH YOU'LL FEEL THE BURNIN
STAY AROUND LONG ENOUGH CHILD YOU'LL GET A LEARNIN

I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY I KEEP ON WALKIN
THEN RUNIN DOWN THAT OLD DIRT ROAD

A GYPSY LADY SHE TOOK MY HAND
SHE SAID COME HERE BOY I’M GONNA MAKE YOU A MAN

PLAY AROUND LONG ENOUGH YOU'LL FEEL THE BURNIN
STAY AROUND LONG ENOUGH CHILD YOU'LL GET A LEARNIN

SWEET GYPSY CHILD
STAY A WHILE
NO NEED FOR YOU TO RUN
WHATS YOUR HURRY SON
DON'T YOU WORRY
YOU AN'T MISSIN ANYONE
DON'T SPEND YOUR LIFE
ALONE INSIDE WORRIN ABOUT A HOME
HOME WILL SURELY FIND YOU BY AND BY
HOME WILL SURELY FIND YOU IF YOU TRY
SWEET GYPSY CHILD

WHEN YOU RUN THIS ROAD LONG ENOUGH
YOUR MIND GETS HARD AND YOUR HEART SEEMS TO TURN TO DUST

ALL YOUR CARES AND WANTS ARE ABOUT
YOUR NEXT MEAL AND YOUR LAST TWIST AND SHOUT

PLAY AROUND LONG ENOUGH YOU'LL FEEL THE BURNIN
STAY AROUND LONG ENOUGH CHILD YOU'LL GET A LEARNIN

SWEET GYPSY CHILD
STAY A WHILE
NO NEED FOR YOU TO RUN
NOW WHATS YOUR HURRY SON
DON'T YOU WORRY
YOU AN'T MISSIN ANYONE
DON'T SPEND YOUR LIFE
ALONE INSIDE WORRIN ABOUT A HOME
HOME WILL SURELY FIND YOU BY AND BY
HOME WILL SURELY FIND YOU IF YOU TRY

SWEET GYPSY CHILD
STAY A WHILE
NO NEED FOR YOU TO RUN
NOW WHATS YOUR HURRY SON
DON'T YOU WORRY
YOU AN'T MISSIN ANYONE
DON'T SPEND YOUR LIFE
ALONE INSIDE WORRIN ABOUT A HOME
HOME WILL SURELY FIND YOU BY AND BY
HOME WILL SURELY FIND YOU IF YOU TRY
