VAGABOND SHOES
(Sammy Gallop / David Saxon)

as recorded by Vic Damone
with Glen Osser & his Orchestra
1950


Mmmm, I've got those travellin' blues,
I get 'em from my vagabond shoes.

Vagabond shoes, why did you roam?
Why did you take me far from home,
Far from the hills and the ripplin' stream,
Chasin' a crazy ghost of a dream?

Vagabond shoes, you've gone astray,
Happiness lies the other way!
So turn around, turn around away from the blues,
Take me home again, home again,
Home again vagabond shoes!

Go!

Vagabond shoes, why did you roam?
Why did you take me far from home,
Far from the hills and the ripplin' stream,
Chasin' a crazy ghost of a dream?

Vagabond shoes, you've gone astray,
Happiness lies the other way!
So turn around, turn around away from the blues,
Take me home again, home again,
Home again vagabond shoes!
