Wanderer - 1932 - Flanagan and Allen

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 26 Sept 2001

I have always been wand'ring,
many a mile each day,
now they're placing restrictions
to stop me on my way.
I am known as a vagrant,
well, a vagrant I may be,
but before they stop me wand'ring,
will they listen to my plea.

Leave me alone, let me wander,
don't tie my hands, just let me roam.
I'm like a bird crying for space,
give me a brook
and some sweet meadow place,
gone is my craving for the Arches,
give me the fields and sun on high,
so please let me wander,
the countryside to ponder,
a roaming vagabond am I.

Leave me alone, let me wander,
don't tie my hands, just let me roam.
I'm like a bird crying for space,
give me a brook and some sweet meadow place,
gone is my craving for the Arches,
give me the fields and sun on high,
so please let me wander,
the countryside to ponder,
a roaming vagabond am I.

Tired of the din and turmoil
marking each city street,
let me be where the grasses
yield to my weary feet.
What is a roof of marble
to a sky of cloudless blue,
for to breathe the air of Heaven
gives you life that's real and true.

Leave me alone, let me wander,
don't tie my hands, just let me roam.
I'm like a bird crying for space,
give me a brook
and some sweet meadow place,
gone is my craving for the Arches,
give me the fields and sun on high,
so please let me wander,
the countryside to ponder,
a roaming vagabond am I.

Leave me alone, let me wander,
don't tie my hands, just let me roam.
I'm like a bird crying for space,
give me a brook and some sweet meadow place,
gone is my craving for the Arches,
give me the fields and sun on high,
so please let me wander,
the countryside to ponder,
a roaming vagabond am I.
