Well the gypsy was a lady traveled all over this land
The gypsy always traveled alone she never needed a man
And the hobo was a drifter drifted from town to town
The last thing that the hobo needed was a woman to tie him down

One night they met in a hobo jungle oh the sparks they flew
They fought just like two cats and dogs
A settin' there eatin' their stew
But the hobo's heart was a-melting and the gypsy's was on fire
And that night in a hobo jungle they were lost in wild desire

Now the gypsy and the hobo traveled all over this land
Border to border and shore to shore they traveled hand in hand
So watch the rails and highways wherever you may go
You may see the gypsy lady and the wandering hobo
Yeah the gypsy lady and the wandering hobo were lost in wild desire
