Teenage Mary said to Uncle Dave
|
I sold my soul, must be saved
|
Gonna take a walk down to Union Square
|
You never know who you're gonna find there
|
|
You gotta run, run, run, run, run
|
Take a drag or two
|
Run, run, run, run, run
|
Gypsy Death and you
|
Tell you whatcha do
|
|
Marguerita Passion had to get her fix
|
She wasn't well, she was getting sick
|
Went to sell her soul, she wasn't high
|
Didn't know, thinks she could buy it
|
|
And she would run, run, run, run, run
|
Take a drag or two
|
Run, run, run, run, run
|
Gypsy Death and you
|
Tell you whatcha do
|
|
Seasick Sarah had a golden nose
|
Hobnail boots wrapped around her toes
|
When she turned blue, all the angels screamed
|
They didn't know, they couldn't make the scene
|
|
She had to run, run, run, run, run
|
Take a drag or two
|
Run, run, run, run, run
|
Gypsy Death and you
|
Tell you whatcha do
|
|
Beardless Harry, what a waste
|
Couldn't even get a small-town taste
|
Rode the trolleys down to forty-seven
|
Figured he was good to get himself to heaven
|
'Cause he had to run, run, run, run, run Take a drag or two
|
Run, run, run, run, run
|
Gypsy Death and you
|
Tell you whatcha do
|
