Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here comes the 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
What's your name, vagabond?
Where have you been?
What's your name, vagabond?
What have you seen?
Where do you come from?
And what do you strive?
Now tell me 'bout a vagabond's life
[Verse 4]
Ashes to ashes
The glow of flambeaus
Leaves of society
He was one of those
He was living on others
Put all of us to shame
That's what they say
[Verse 5]
He walked with a limp
But he had been around
From far east to west
With a north wind down south
He was branded an outlaw
It was time to repay
That's what they say
[Verse 6]
What's your name, vagabond?
Where have you been?
What's your name, vagabond?
What have you seen?
Where do you come from?
And what did you strive?
Now tell me 'bout a vagabond's life
[Verse 7]
Don't call it murder
How can you dare?
Turn 'round and leave
You shouldn't really care
The whole case is closed in a pauper's grave
That's what they say
[Verse 8]
Rest in peace, vagabond?
Where have you been?
Rest in peace, vagabond?
What have you seen?
Where did you come from?
And what did you strive?
Now tell me 'bout a vagabond's life
[Verse 9]
Rest in peace, vagabond
Where have you been?
Rest in peace, vagabond
What have you seen?
Where did you come from?
And what did you strive?
The story of a vagabond's life
The story of a vagabond's life
