As recorded by FLANAGAN & ALLEN
with Henry Hall's BBC Dance Orch.:


Leave us alone, let us wander
Don't tie our hands, just let us roam
We're like two birds crying for space
Give us room and some sweet meadow place

Gone is our craving for the arches
All that we need is to be free
So please let us wander, the countryside to ponder
Two roaming vagabonds are we

(Orchestral Interlude)

So please let us wander, the countryside to ponder
Two roaming vagabonds are we

As recorded by SAM BROWNE
with The Blue Lyres (aka Ambrose & His Orch.):


Leave me alone, let me wander
Don't tie my hands, just let me roam
I'm like a bird crying for space
Give me a brook and some sweet meadow place

Gone is my craving for the arches
Give me the fields and sun on high
So please let me wander, the countryside to ponder
A roaming vagabond am I

(Instrumental Break)

Gone is my craving for the arches
Give me the fields and sun on high
So please let me wander, the countryside to ponder
A roaming vagabond am I

Ooh-ooh, ooooh-ooooh-ooooh, ooooh
