A song about a lady outlaw I know.

Lyrics

Sweet Maddie Spawton
Where are you now?
No tellin' where you'll go, you're a rambler, don't I know
In your sweet time, get back somehow

If you're traveling in the north country
Bring your long johns
Bet your life, overalls and a jackknife
By the time they see you, you're long gone

You swear like a sailor
And you lean like the sea
When your blood's running, you smell like a woman
Who just might be harder than me

Sweet Maddie Spawton
Where are you now?
Runnin' down the road, oh, I love to watch you go
In your sweet time, get back somehow

No lord and no master
No god and no king
Own your own labour and you don't need a saviour
I guess you could get away with anything

Ballin' in the country
Bummin' in the town
Look at us high-rollin, all this stuff was stolen
It'll get real when the shit goes down

Sweet Maddie Spawton
Where are you now?
Blowin' on through, that's just what ramblers do
In your sweet time, get back somehow

Here's to tucker when you're hungry
Whiskey when you're dry
Friends when you're hard up, ignition when you start up
And sweet freedom when you die

Sweet Maddie Spawton
Where are you now?
No tellin' where you'll go, you're a rambler, don't I know
In your sweet time, get back somehow
