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 sterelized.
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.
