Rake and Ramblin' Man

(Bob McDill)



(Recitation)

I ran into an old friend of mine the other day

We hadn't seen each other for quite a while

What he had to say to me hit me pretty hard

'Cause I think a lot of folks get started this way.



(Sing)

He said, I thought it would be so easy, another one-night stand

She seemed so warm and willing, rtight in the palm of my hand

Now it's three months ago last Wednesday since I woke up in her bed

Lord, I think I love her but I'm scared half to death.



Chorus:

'Cause you know I'm a rake and a rambling man free as an eagle flies

Well, look at me now and tell me true do I look like a daddy to you?

Oh, do I look like a daddy to you?



Now she's feeling' sick in the mornings, she can't get into her jeans

I spent my last ten dollars, bought her a second hand ring

I start to work next Monday, 'cause I just can't let her down

I've had me some good times but it's all changing' now.



Chorus:

You know I'm a rake and a rambling man free as an eagle flies

Well, look at me now and tell me true do I look like a daddy to you?

Oh, do I look like a daddy to you?



Chorus:

You know I'm a rake and a rambling man free as an eagle flies

Well, look at me now and tell me true do I look like a daddy to you?

Oh, do I look like a daddy to you?...
