***************** WILLIE THE WANDERING GYPSY AND ME **************** written by Billy Joe Shaver performed by Waylon Jennings Verse 1:
         C                       F
        Three fingers whiskey, pleasures the drinkers

             C                                        G
        And moving does more than the same things for me

         C                       F
        Willie he tells me that doers and thinkers

             C                           G         C
        Say moving is the closest thing to being free
Verse 2:
         C                               F
        Well he's rosined his reggins, laid back his wages

               C                              G
        He's dead set on riding in the big rodeo

            C                     F       C
        My woman's tired with an overdue baby

                                  G            C
        Willie keeps yelling hey gypsy, let's go
Chorus:
         G                        F             C
        Willie, you're wild as a Texas blue northern

          G                         F        C
        Ready rolled from the same makins as me

                                          F            C
        I reckon we're gonna ramble till hell freezes over

                              G        C
        Willie the wandering gypsy and me
Verse 3:
         C                     F
        Ladies we surely will take off your favors

             C                                     G
        And we'll surely warn you there never will be

           C                             F            C
        A single soul living that could put brand or handle

                                 G        C
        On Willie the wandering gypsy and me
Verse 4:
         C                       F
        Dance on the mountain, shout in the canyons

          C                                    G
        Swarm in a loose heard like a wild buffalo

          C                        F            C
        Jamming our heads full of figures and angles

                                     G         C
        And telling us stuff that we already know
