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
