Three fi^Angers whiskey,pleasures^D the drinkers And moving d^Aoes more than the same things for me ^E Willie h^Ae tells me that doers an^Dd thinkers Say moving i^As the closest thing to being^E free ^A

Verse 2:

Well he'^As rosined his reggins,laid back^D his wages He's dead set ^Aon riding in the big rodeo ^E My woman's ^Atired with an overdue ^Dbaby ^A Willie keeps yelling hey gypsy le^Et's go ^A

Chorus:

Willie y^Eou're wild as a Texas bl^Due northern ^A Ready rol^Eled from the same makins a^Ds me ^A I reckon we're gonna ramble till hell fre^Dezes over ^A Willie the wandering gypsy an^Ed me ^A

Ladies w^Ae surely will take off^D your favors And we'll su^Arely warn you there never will be ^E A single s^Aoul living that could put bran^Dd or handle ^A On Willie the wandering gypsy an^Ed me ^A

Verse 4:

Dance on^A the mountain,shout in ^Dthe canyons Swarm in ^Aa loose heard like a wild buffalo ^E Jamming o^Aur heads full of figures ^Dand angles ^A And telling us stuff that we already^E know ^A
