a man he went out walking
a-walking out he went
his eyes were bulging
and his back was bent
a maiden passed him
a maiden slim and fair
she passed him like a breeze
and he could only stop and stare
next he met a monster
a monster from the deep
the monster told a story
which put the man to sleep
he dreamed of a mountain
a mountain he could not climb
he asked the mountain for a nickel
and it threw him a lousy dime
the man awoke at midnight
beside the highway wide
which turned into a river
and he was out with the tide
o wanderers in daylight
and wanderers in the dark
you can wander forever
and never leave a mark
where are the marks of mighty kings
and conquerors great and high?
they asked the stars to guide them
but the stars passed them by
