E                       A             E
Got me a postcard and a twenty dollar bill
E                                           A              E
I told you I'd meet you in Memphis if you'd bring me those pills
          E               A                    E
And I got high, and I got drunk, for far too long
        B7                     A
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
           E               A                 E
And I got cash, and I got robbed for all I own
        B7                      A
And the gypsy train to Houston,   is gonna take me back home

So I got cleaning, 'nd I got a steady job
    E                            A          E
No longer was I runnin' from the emblems of law

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