Well, I'm gonna scrawl my name On the bare bones of the earth I'm gonna dig my heels Into the ground 'Cause when that ferryman come For to tally up my worth I won't leave much behind To drag me down Well, I'm gonna heft my spade Up upon my wearied back I'm gonna keep last rites Tucked in my soul 'Cause when my coals burn low And my train's run outta track Won't be no one else To dig my hole Well, I Got no companion 'Cept the wind And the sea And when I'm Cold and empty They're the ones Who'll bury me Well, I'm gonna cast my stones O'er the waters of this land And by and by I'll see them far and long 'Cause when the night come down For to take me hand in hand This will be my tale My Vagrant Song
