Tramp.
What you call me?
Tramp.
You don't wear continental clothes or Stetson hats.
But I tell you one dog gone bang, it makes me feel good to know one thing.
I know I'm a lover.
[Eb] [F] [Eb] [C]
[Gm] I'm a [C] lover.
I'm a lover.
I'm a lover.
[Gm] [G] I'm a lover.

And I know that [F] God loves me.

What?
You're a country.
That's alright.
You're straight from the George Woods.
That's good.
You know what?
You wear overalls, big old brogine shoes, and you need a haircut, Tramp.

That's right.
You haven't even got a [Gb] fast bankroll in your pocket.
You [C] probably haven't even had 20.
I got 6 Cadillacs, 5 Lakers, 4 Fords, 6 Mercats, 3 T-Birds, Mustang.
Oh, [F] I'm a lover.
[Eb] [F]
[Cm] [C] What do you mean?

[C] You're still a tramp.
[Gm] Look [C] at that.
You haven't even got no money.
You can't buy me all [Gm] those meats.
[C]
All that stuff I love.
I can buy you [Gm] meat, rats, [C]
frogs, swans, rabbits, anything you want.
[Gm] Look, you can go out in the [C] garage and work.
[Gm] You're still a tramp.
You're still a tramp.
Oh, he's just a tramp.
Tramp.
Well, overall, [Gm] you need a haircut, [C] baby.
Cut out some of that hair.
You can't be a lover, [Gm] huh?
[C]
