Vagabond Ways

Marianne Faithfull · Other Songs - Marianne Faithfull

Oh, doctor please, oh, doctor please

I drink and I take drugs

I love sex and I move around a lot

I had my first baby at fourteen



And yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways

Yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways



Oh, doctor please, oh, doctor please

I think you've made a mistake

I'm fine and I don't need people

You don't understand all my choices



But yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways

Yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways



Please, don't lock me up, please, let me stay free

If you let me go, I promise I'll never come back

I'll take a ship across the sea

I'm young and poor and yes I'm afraid

But I'll stay myself and keep my vagabond ways



It was a long time ago

They took her child away and she was sterilized

She died of the drink and the drugs

And yes, I guess she kept those vagabond ways



Yes, I guess she kept those vagabond ways

Yes, I guess she kept those vagabond ways
