I am a vagabond
Love child, gypsy woman
My mother was a hippie
Hitchhike to San Francisco
Jay Blue didn't know how to
Keep me about that country town
My chair was rocking steady
But I was never ready
I am a vagabond
Love child, gypsy woman
A stolen African, European
Native American
Rex White couldn't hold me tight enough
To keep me in that jungle
My bowl was filled with sugar
But I had to sail on further
I am a vagabond
Love child, gypsy woman
My pa was born on a train
Just arrived from Louisiana
Dean Black couldn't hold me back
In the bright lights of the city
I had to leave that home
Just like a rolling stone
I am a vagabond
Love child, gypsy woman
My mother was a hippie
Hitchhike to San Francisco
Jay Blue didn't know how to
Keep me about that country town
I had to leave that home
Just like a rolling stone
