Oh I am just a vagabond   A drifter on the run   And elequant profanity   It rolls right off my tongue      And I have dined in palaces   Drunk wine with kings and queens   But darling, oh darling   You're the best thing I've ever seen      Won't you roll um easy   So slow and easy   Take my independence   With no apprehension or tension   You walking talking paradise   Sweet paradise      Well I've been across this country   From Denver to the ocean   And I never met girls that could sing so sweet   Like the angels who live in Houston   Singing "Roll me easy"   So slow and easy   Play the concertina   I'll be your temptress   And baby I'm defenceless   Singing harmony in unison   Sweet harmony   Gotta hoist your flag and then beat your drum
