Wild one, won't you please come home

You've been away too long, will you

We need you home, we need you near

Come back, wild one, will you



How can we live without your love

You know that could kill you

And how can we carry on

When you are gone, my wild one



Oh sure you're a wild one

Oh you are a wild one



So you go your way

Wild one, I'll try and follow

And if you change your mind

I will be waiting here for you tomorrow



For I will beg for you

I would steal and I would borrow

I'd do anything at all, anything at all

To end this sorrow



My wild one

Oh you are a wild one



There was no hope



Wild one

The gypsies warned of the danger

You can laugh and joke with friends

But don't you ever talk to strangers



Although their offers may be sweet

I'd bet and I would wager

Away you'll stray and never come back

To those who love and made you



Johnny goes a roving

Where you'll stray

Where you'll stray

My one and only wild one
