I could tell you the story of a vagabond A playboy of the western world One day by chance he came upon A fair young maid, a country girl
He told her that he loved her And he took all of her silver He told her that he needed her too He said "Hey baby, you got eyes of blue" But he was a vagabond
Blue eyes, oh baby blue, oh blue eyes The kind of eyes that say "I do" eyes Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes
He roamed around the cities Searching for his fortune and fame No lady ever got to know his name Shame, but that was his game
Gave a girl a baby boy He said "This child is my pride and joy" "I'm busy running wild and free" "Make sure he grows up like me" And I'm a vagabond
Blue eyes, oh baby blue, oh blue eyes The kind of eyes that say "I do" eyes Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes
Oh I could tell you a story of a vagabond He was a playboy of the western world He wore an earring in his left ear You see his father he was a gypsy
You just might meet him upon the highway Pretty fine dancer too But he's leave you blue, he'd leave He'd leave you woman
