Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- All alone I sit and dream of someone
Someone that I hold as my ideal
Hoping that someday I’ll find that someone
Wondering what the future will reveal
Chorus
For some girls are quickly forgotten
And gone with the dawn of the day
But some you remember like last glowing embers
Haunting your memory and dreams
For I’m just a vagabond lover
In search of a sweetheart it seems
And I know that someday I’ll discover her
The girl of my vagabond dreams
- Tho’ I’ve searched I never once have found her
All my travels seem to be in vain
I’ve looked for her in every kind of weather
Wondering if I’d find her in the rain
