Well, I am just a vagabond
A drifter on the run
And eloquent profanity
It rolls right off my tongue

And I have dined in palaces
Drunk wine with kings and queens
And darling, oh darling
You're the best thing I ever seen

Won't you roll me easy
So slow and easy
Take my independence
With no apprehension, no tension
Walk in, talk in paradise
Sweet paradise

Well, I've been around this country
From Denver to the oceans
And I never met girls that could sing so sweet
Like the angels that live in Houston

Singing roll me easy
So slow and easy
Play your concertina, be a temptress
Darling, I'm defenseless

Sing in harmony, in unison
Sweet harmony
Gotta hoist the flag and I'll beat your drum

Sing in harmony, in unison
Sweet harmony
Gotta hoist the flag and I'll beat your drum

Woah, roll me easy
So slow and easy
Take my independence
With no apprehension, no tension
Walk in, talk in paradise
Sweet paradise
