Got me a postcard and a twenty dollar bill 
I told you I'd meet you in Memphis if you'd bring me those pills 

| E | E | A hold | (A) | E | E |    | B | B | A Hold | (A) | 
And I got high, and I got drunk, for far too long 
And the gypsy train to Houston, is gonna take me along

they call me the wild card, and they called me their fool 
I told them I'd bring 'em their money if they'd get me back to you

And I got cash, and I got robbed for all I own 
And the gypsy train to Houston is gonna take me back home

No longer was I runnin' from the emblems of law

And the gypsy train to Houston, won't leave me alone
