A Vagabond's Life

Here comes a barrow rumbling down the lane
Some call him a thief some said he was insane
Straining in the darkness sleeping in the day
That's what they say
A lifeless body in a mothy robe
A worn-out hat and a perforated coat
Nobody's gonna miss him
Or gather at his grave
That's what they say
What's your name vagabond
Where have you been
What's your aim vagabond
What have you seen
Where do you come from
And what do you strive
Come tell me about a vagabond's life
Ashes to ashes the glow of thrombose
Leaves off society he was one of those
Was living on others put all of us to shame
That's what they say
He walked with a limp but he had been around
From far east to west
With a north wind down south
He was branded and outlawed it was time to repay
That's what they say
What's your name vagabond
Where have you been
What's your aim vagabond
What have you seen
Where do you come from
And what do you strive
Come tell me about a vagabond's life
Don't call it murder how can you dare
Turn around and leave you shouldn't really care
All cases closed and pauper's grave
That's what they say
Rest in peace vagabonds
Where have you been
Rest in peace vagabonds
What have you seen
Where did you come from
And what did you strive
Come tell me about a vagabond's life yeah
Rest in peace vagabonds
Where have you been
Rest in peace vagabonds
What have you seen
Where did you come from
And what did you strive
