    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
