I walked the street with a tap to my feet I heard a voice above me
D G A7 D
A lovely maid looked out and said, "I need someone to love me"
G D G A7
Said I, "My dear You needn't fear for I have heard your pleadin'
D G A7 D
You'll find your joy with the wayward boy he's got just what you're needin'"

"I heard of you my wayward boy your name is far exalted
But I won't come down, I can't come down my Bedroom door is bolted
My father is a minister, my maidenhead doth cherish
Nightly he does lock me in so lonely I could perish"

Well the fence was small I shinnied up the wall I stood there right beside her
With some alarm she lifted up her arm she grabbed some clothes to hide her
Says I, "Young maid, don't be afraid, your future could be thrillin'
If you're the one that likes a bit a fun the wayward boy is willin'"

Well, she jumped in bed and she covered up her head and she said I couldn't find her
She knew damn well she lied like hell, I jumped in right behind her
I shoved my chest up to her breast, I shook her like a toy
When I hit the bell she knew damn well why they called me the wayward boy

Well, the bed broke down, I landed on the ground, her father come a-gunnin'
I jumped through the glass, and landed on my ass, I got to my feet a-runnin'
As on I sped, I turned my head, but a shotgun blast did blind me
For weeks in bed I was pickin' out the lead with a mirror held behind me

Some years went by, I woke up with a sigh as fancy did remind me
So one fine day I made my way to the gal I'd left behind me
She was still locked in to ward off sin, she didn't look much older
But she had five girls seven little boys and a baby on her shoulder
