1
She said she had no money
2
But he was in doubt
3
He told her, "I used to be in too"
4
But now he was out
5
"Spare some small change lady
6
And I'll be on my way"
7
She looked into his eyes
8
And deep in his soul
9
I know she was wondering
10
If he was in control
11
She muttered to herself, "Those beggars,
12
Where do they all come from?"
13
He said, "I'm not a homeless man
14
I'm a gypsy by trade
15
And I'm travelling this land
16
I'm not a homeless man"
17
He moved through the streets
18
With his headband low
19
Never thinking he would never see
20
That woman again, you know
21
Just sleeping in the doorways
22
And alleys like he always had
23
The years rolled by
24
And later on
25
He spotted an old woman
26
All tattered and worn
27
Hard times had got her
28
Her clothes were ragged and old
29
She said, "I'm not a homeless woman
30
I'm a gypsy by trade
31
And I'm travelling this land
32
I'm not a homeless woman"
33
Sometime in the daytime
34
Sometimes at night
35
You will see a couple walking
36
They'll come into sight
37
Pushing their carts
38
And holding hands
39
If you ask to help
40
They'll just run away
41
Like little children, out to play
42
And if you ask, "Who are you"
43
They'll always say
44
"I'm not a homeless man
45
I'm a gypsy by trade
46
And I'm travelling this land
47
She's not a homeless woman
48
I'm not a homeless man"
