THE WANDERER
(Irving Burgess)

The Kingston Trio


It's only been a year or so but it seems so long ago
I packed up my bags and left my home
Been from Fresno to Maine, even worked a boat in Spain
I ain't ever had a bed to call my own

Chorus:
'Round this time of day I gets to feelin' low 
And I wonder who's my baby's latest beau

I have gambled and lost. I've been cussed by my boss
Some city gal just took me for a ride
Hope some day I'll get back to my little old country shack
Settle down with my baby at my side

(Chorus) 

Someday soon, you hear, gonna save up my fare 
Or maybe I'll just have to ride the rail
If that mornin' train is right, I'll be home before that night 
And I hope no one will have to go my bail

(Chorus)
