...TRAMP... by Otis Redding (with Carla Thomas) -----------................ *from 'King & Queen' (1967)* Verse 1: You don't wear continental clothes, or Stetson hats. Well, I tell you one dog-gone thing; It makes me feel good to know one thing; I know I'm a... Matter of opinion; that's all right Mama was, Papa too, Verse 2: You straight from the Georgia woods, that's good! You know what? You wear overalls and big old Brogan shoes, And you need a haircut, tramp. Haircut? Woman, you foolin', ooh, I'm a... Mama was, Grandmama, Papa too; Boogaloo, all that stuff. Verse 3: I don't care what you say; you're still a tramp. What? That's right; you haven't even got a fat bankroll in your pocket, You probably haven't even got Twenty-five cents. I got six Cadillacs, five Lincolns, four Fords, six Mercuries, Three T-Birds... Mustang, ooh, I'm a... Mama was, Papa too. I tell you one thing; well, tell me, Coda: I don't care what you say; you're still a tramp. What's wrong with that? Look here; You ain't got no money, I got everything, You can't buy me all those minks and sables and all that stuff I want. I can buy you minks, rats, frogs, squirrels, rabbits; Anything you want, woman. Look, you can go out in the Georgia woods and find them, baby, Oh, you foolin', you're still a tramp, that's all right, You a tramp, Otis, you just a tramp. That's all right, You wear overalls, you need a haircut, baby, Cut off some of that hair off your head, you think you a lover, huh?
