Ma man's a gypsy Cause he never does come home. Ma man's a gypsy -- He never does come home. I'm gonna be a gypsy woman Fer I can't stay here alone. Once I was in Memphis, I mean Tennessee. Once I was in Memphis, Said Tennessee. But I had to leave cause Nobody there was good to me. I met a yellow papa, He took my last thin dime. Met a yellow papa, He took ma last thin dime. I give it to him cause I loved him But I'll have mo' sense next time. Love, Oh, love is Such a strange disease. Love, Oh, love is Such a strange disease. When it hurts yo' heart you Sho can't find no ease. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO THE DRIVING CLOUD by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW HUGH SELWYN MAUBERLEY: 7.
