"Tillman's Rag" lyrics - J. TILLMAN

Gypsy, open your gates
Let me back inside
You told me not to return
Before your well ran dry
Oh, how I long to be
Your only companion
But I'll settle just to be able
To read my hand, to read my hand
Baby, let me come back in
Oh, oh
Set the hall on fire
So I can find my way
Just throw a rag on the floor
So I can sleep all day
Oh, how I long to do
Just like my father had done
But I'll settle just to be able
To be chased around
One more once around
And then, baby, put the knife back down
Oh, oh
