rake and rambling man

Don Williams

(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, he said.

(Sing)
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 its 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.

(Repeat chorus twice)
