[Verse 1]
Teenage Mary to Uncle Dave
Said, "my soul, it might be saved
Take a walk down to Union Square
You never know who you're gonna find out there"
[Chorus]
Run, run, run, run, run, take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run, Gypsy death and you
Whatcha do
[Verse 2]
Marguerita Passion, I had to get her fixed
She wasn't well, she was always getting sick
Went to sell her soul, she wasn't high
Didn't know all the things she could buy
[Chorus]
Run, run, run, run, run, take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run, Gypsy death and you
Whatcha do
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Seasick Sarah had a golden nose
Hobnail boots wrapped around her toes
You turned blue and all the angels screamed
They didn't know, they couldn't make the scene
[Chorus]
Run, run, run, run, run, take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run, Gypsy death and you
Whatcha do
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 4]
Beardless Harry, what a waste
Couldn't even get a small-town taste
Rode the trolleys down to 47th
Figured he was good to get him to go to heaven
[Chorus]
Run, run, run, run, run, take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run, Gypsy death and you
Whatcha do
