[Verse 1]
Don't go to Gibsom cross the river
The devil is hungry
The devil is sweet
If you are soft then you will shiver
They hang the alley cats on Gibsom Street
They hang the alley cats on Gibsom Street
Oh, Gibsom
Gibsom Street

[Verse 2]
I wish my baby were forbidden
I wish that my world
Be struck by sleet
I wish to keep my mirror hidden
To hide the eyes that looked on Gibsom Street
To hide the eyes that looked on Gibsom Street
Oh, Gibsom
Gibsom Street

[Bridge]
Oh my sorrow, oh my loving
Oh my sorrow, oh my loving
Oh my sorrow, oh my loving
Oh my sorrow
[Verse 3]
There is a man he knows where I'm going
He gave me a strawberry
To eat
I sucked its juices never knowing
That I would sleep that night on Gibsom Street
