Tramp!
�what you call me?
�tramp.
�you didn't!
�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 lover.
�matter of opinion.
�that's all right, mama was. papa too. and i'm the only child. lovin' is all i know to do.
�you know what, otis?
�what?
�you're country.
�that's all right.
�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 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!
�you know what, otis? 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, ooooooohhh...i'm a lover. mama was. papa too. i tell you one thing.
�well tell me.
�i'm the only son-of-a-gun this side of the sun.
�you're a tramp, otis.
�no i'm not.
�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?
Here's the original text (lowell fulson) :
1.
tramp -
you can call me that.
i don't wear that kind of clothes: stuts and hats.
but i'm a lover
mana was - papa too.
i'm not a child: love is all i gonna do.
2.
call me country
that a new word
i'll answer when you call me, baby, i mean, if that makes you feel good...
but i'm just a lover
mama was - papa too.
but i'm not a child: love is all i gonna do.
3.
now: whatever you call me,
i even go for that!
'cause i keep a fat pack crawling in my pocket baby!
you know, i don't own three cadillacs -
'cause i'm just a lover.
mama was - papa too.
i'm not a child: love is all i gonna do.
