Wanderer (4:11) by Michael Van
an old folk song that I wrote when I was young

lyrics

I have been a Wanderer © Michael VanArsdale 1978

I have been a Wanderer, I've wandered across the land
I have been a Wanderer, I lost my true loves hand
She did not understand

Wanderer, Oh Wanderer, you wander much too far
Wanderer, Oh Wanderer, wander to my arms

I have been a sailing man, I've sailed across the sea
I have been a sailing man, but my baby don't love me
she said it could not be

I have been a fighting man, fighting for the right
I have been a fighting man, I won my true loves hand
now I never leave her sight
