Gypsies Got the Right to Steal

Ray Wylie Hubbard

[Verse 1]
A while back in a far away land
At time when a-Pilate washed his hands
Had a man gonna scratch out his number
Gonna take him to some hills and nail him to some lumber
Had a nail for his feet and one for each hand
Even had a nail for the heart of the soulful man
But a Gypsy stole the nail, there on Calvary's hill
Jesus said, "Thank you, boys, y'all got the right to steal"

[Chorus]
Gypsy, Gypsies got the right to steal
Like a doctor has got the right to heal
'Cause at the cross before they could start
A Gypsy stole the nail that was meant for Jesus' heart

[Verse 2]
Jesus was on the cross with thorns on his head
Just the night before, he'd had his fortune read
A voice told him this, and I'll tell you what it said
Said, "Son, this time tomorrow, you're gonna have your [?]"

[Chorus]
Gypsy, Gypsies got the right to steal
Like a doctor has got the right to heal
'Cause at the cross before they could start
A Gypsy stole the nail that was meant for Jesus' heart

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Gypsy, Gypsies got the right to steal
Just like a doctor has got the right to heal
'Cause at the cross before they could start
A Gypsy stole the nail that was meant for Jesus' heart
