A Vagabond's Life lyrics

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, with 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 the 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, vagabond

Where have you been?

Rest in peace, vagabond

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, vagabond

Where have you been?

Rest in peace, vagabond

What have you seen?

Where did you come from?

And what did you strive?
