Singing a Vagabond Song [song lyrics]

Song lyrics to Singing a Vagabond Song. Written by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans. Sung by Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis in My Friend Irma Goes West

I’m a wanderer on life’s highway
I’m not one of that great legion with their traveling care
And though I haven’t much religion
Here’s my only prayer

Life is not just in sole pleasure
That’s so easy to find
But I can’t find life’s greatest pleasure in my peace of mind.

Give me the road the wide winding highway
Just let me know I’m done beaten byways
And I’ll travel along singing a vagabond song

Well give me the flowers, the birds in the morning
Just let me see that sunrise dawning
And I’ll travel along singing a vagabond song

Happy you may be with your fashions, your passions, your smug little parts you play
You could never fool me with your foolery, me your jewelry all I can say

Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis: Give me the road the wide winding highway
Traveling along singing a vagabond song
