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

 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
