There's a tramp sitting on the doorstep
Trying to waste his time
He's eating a mentholated sandwich
He's a walking clothes line
Here comes, here comes the bishop's daughter
On the other side, oh well she looks a trifle jealous
She's been an outcast all of her life
Ah but me, I've been waiting so patiently
Lying here on the floor
I'm just trying to do my little jigsaw puzzle
Before it raisn anymore.
Now the outlaw he looks so vicious
With the lucre in his hand
But when he comes to the wife and kiddy
He's a family man
Oh when it comes to the nitty gritty, he can really sharpen his knife
Well, he looks quite religious
He's been an outlaw all of his life
Ah but me, I've been waiting so patiently
Lying here on the floor
Just trying to do my little jigsaw puzzle
Before it rains away
