Tramp<br>

( Feat. Carla Thomas)<br>

<br>

Tramp!<br>

What you call me?<br>

Tramp.<br>

You didn't!<br>

You don't wear continental clothes, or Stetson hats.<br>

Well I tell you one dog-gone thing. It makes me feel good to know one thing. I know I'm a lover.<br>

Matter of opinion.<br>

That's all right, Mama was. Papa too. And I'm the only child. Lovin' is all I know to do.<br>

You know what, Otis?<br>

What?<br>

You're country.<br>

That's all right.<br>

You straight from the Georgia woods.<br>

That's good.<br>

You know what? You wear overalls, and big old brogan shoes, and you need a haircut, Tramp.<br>

Haircut? Woman, you foolin'...ooh...I'm a lover. Mama was. Grandmama, Papa too. Boogaloo. All that stuff. And I'm the only son-of-a-gun this side of the Sun. Tramp!<br>

You know what, Otis? I don't care what you say, you're still a tramp.<br>

What?<br>

That's right. You haven't even got a fat bankroll in your pocket. You probably haven't even got twenty-five cents.<br>

I got six Cadillacs, five Lincolns, four Fords, six Mercuries, three T-Birds, Mustang, ooooooohhh...I'm a lover. Mama was. Papa too. I tell you one thing.<br>

Well tell me.<br>

I'm the only son-of-a-gun this side of the Sun.<br>

You're a tramp, Otis.<br>

No I'm not.<br>

I don't care what you say, you're still a tramp.<br>

What's wrong with that?<br>

Look here. You ain't got no money.<br>

I got everything.<br>

You can't buy me all those minks and sables and all that stuff I want.<br>

I can buy you minks, rats, frogs, squirrels, rabbits, ...anything you want, Woman.<br>

Look, you can go out in the Georgia woods and find them, Baby.<br>

Oh, you foolin'.<br>

You're still a tramp.<br>

That's all right.<br>

You a tramp, Otis. You just a tramp.<br>

That's all right.<br>

You wear overalls. You need a haircut, Baby. Cut off some of that hair off your head. You think you a lover, huh?<br>
