Rake and Ramblin´ Man - Don Williams/Essential Classics
Lyrics by:Donald Ray Williams
Composed by:Donald Ray Williams
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 he said
I thought it would be so easy
Another one-night stand
She seemed so warm and willing
Right 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 it scares me half to death
'Cause you know I'm a rake and a ramblin' 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 changin' now
'Cause you know I'm a rake and a ramblin' 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
'Cause you know I'm a rake and a ramblin' 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
