I am a wanderer
Looking for escape
This road is too long
I can't reach the gate
Some people tell me
"Beware of your heart
The sun hits real hard
In these parts"
La da da, da da da, da da da
My body is aching
From the pain in my chest
I can't get no rest
It's cold and I'm shaken
My feet are all blistered
From walking too fast
Trying to run from the past
I don't miss her
Lonely and lost I can't find
My way through this big city
Of blues that I've drowned myself in
I've got nobody to talk to
Find me a lover or maybe a
Friend who can give me
Directions to somewhere back East
I am a wanderer
And this is my plea
La da da, da da da, da da da
Some woman suggested
I come to your house
Don't know what you're about
Guess I'll find out
She said you were sweeter
Than spring time in May
That perhaps I could stay
'Till the blues fade away
Hungry and thirsty
For something worthwhile, I will cling to
Whatever salvation you throw
I've got no money to give, though
Sing me a song of Bohemia
Whisper the words
Of a caravan lost out at sea
I am a wanderer
And this is my plea
La da da, da da da, da da da
La da da, da da da, da da da
La da da, da da da, da da da
La da da, da da da, da da da
