Whoa I am just a vagabond, a drifter on the run
the eloquent profanity, it rolls right off my tongue
And I have dined in palaces, drunk wine with kings and queens
But darlin', oh darlin', you're the best thing I ever seen

Won't you roll me easy, oh slow and easy
Take my independence, with no apprehension, no tension
You're a walkin', talkin' paradise, sweet paradise

I've been across this country, from Denver to the ocean
And I never met girls that could sing so sweet like the angels that live in Houston
Singing roll me easy, so slow and easy
Play that concertina be a temptress
And baby I'm defenseless

Singing harmony, in unison, sweet harmony
Gotta hoist the flag and I'll beat your drum
