Rake & a Drifter

I am a rake and a drifter

A rascal and a downright sinner

And I've been traveling some

Gonna travel til my travelin' is done

She, she takes care of me

And saves me from my own misery

She found me by the side of the road

And sheltered me from the wind and the cold

I am a ramblin' man

And how she puts up with me, well I'll never understand

She puts her arms round me

And tells me all the things that I could be

So I s'pose that I could maybe change

And s'posing that I did, well I hope she'd take my name

I'm gonna set right down

Farm this land, and maybe write a few songs

I am a rake and a drifter

A rascal and a downright sinner

And I've been traveling some

But I s'pose my traveling is done
