Lyrics
Ragamuffin Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Born & raised as a rich man's son
You were always the restless one
Living high only made you low
So you packed up & hit the road
CHORUS:
Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man
Life was so grand, you used to stand
Holdin' your head up high
Look at you now, I wonder how
You can be satisfied
Stowed a ride on a westbound train
Called yourself by another name
Spent your nights in a mission home
Cast away the life that you'd known
(chorus)
As you rise in the mornin' rain
Take a look down that road again
Does the thought ever grab your mind
For the life that you've left behind?
(chorus)
Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man
Ahhhhh, la la la la la la la
Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man
...& fade
