I could tell you the story of a vagabond
|
A playboy of the western world
|
One day by chance he came upon
|
A fair young maid, a country girl
|
|
He told her that he loved her
|
And he took all of her silver
|
He told her that he needed her too
|
He said "Hey baby, you got eyes of blue"
|
But he was a vagabond
|
|
Blue eyes, oh baby blue, oh blue eyes
|
The kind of eyes that say "I do" eyes
|
Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes
|
Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes
|
|
He roamed around the cities
|
Searching for his fortune and fame
|
No lady ever got to know his name
|
Shame, but that was his game
|
|
Gave a girl a baby boy
|
He said "This child is my pride and joy"
|
"I'm busy running wild and free"
|
"Make sure he grows up like me"
|
And I'm a vagabond
|
|
Blue eyes, oh baby blue, oh blue eyes
|
The kind of eyes that say "I do" eyes
|
Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes
|
Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes
|
|
Oh I could tell you a story of a vagabond
|
He was a playboy of the western world
|
He wore an earring in his left ear
|
You see his father he was a gypsy
|
|
You just might meet him upon the highway
|
Pretty fine dancer too
|
But he's leave you blue, he'd leave
|
He'd leave you woman
|
