Born and raised as a rich man's son You were always the restless one Living high only made you low So you packed up and hit the road [Chorus:] Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man Life was so grand, you used to stand Holdin' your head up high Look at you now, I wonder how You can be satisfied Stowed a ride on a westbound train Called yourself by another name Spent your nights in a mission home Cast away the life that you'd known [Chorus] As you rise in the mornin' rain Take a look down that road again Does the thought ever grab your mind For the life that you've left behind? [Chorus] Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man Ahhhhh, la la la la la la la Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man
