Cher – Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves Album Lyrics
"Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves" is Cher's breakthrough solo hit that showcases her distinctive contralto voice over a driving, theatrical pop arrangement with folk and country influences. The song tells a vivid story of outcasts and social prejudice through the eyes of a traveling performer's daughter, combining narrative storytelling with an anthemic chorus that turns a slur into a badge of defiant pride. Its cinematic quality and Cher's commanding vocal delivery made it a defining moment that established her as a solo artist separate from Sonny & Cher.
