The legacy it shall remain represent the travelers' name He's the mist from dawn to dusk in all of us what a legendary name He's a drifter always on the road Anywhere he's always looking for the next place to go In the streets he does his tricks for applause and tips There's a hat just put a dollar in it so he can drift again Chim the drifter he never walks the road Hopping trains going by hitchin' rides he's a freeloader He goes around from town to town scamming folks until he's found out Coins and cards and false cuts magic tricks are all he's got to survive Traveling trickster he's a master of deceit He's a shady man and he sure can make a fool out of you with his sleight of hand Wandering mystery there's a legend to his name Chim the drifter drifts forever just the same as yesterday On the road his friends became his enemies Never can he double back again and he's always gotta keep Runnin runnin runnin runnin Runnin runnin runnin runnin Traveling trickster he's a master of deceit He's a shady man and he sure can make a fool out of you with his sleight of hand Wandering mystery there's a legend to his name Chim the drifter drifts forever just the same as yesterday Gather round folks gather round I'm going to show you the oldest magic trick in the world A trick that has been performed for kings and queens royalty and commoners This trick is as old as time itself If you go to Egypt you can actually see this trick enshrined upon the walls of Egypt inside of hieroglyphics If they're a little farther down the walls that's right they're lower glyphics This trick has been performed for eons with three cups and three balls That's right three cups and just three balls Ladies and gentlemen I present to you The inks the blinks the watts and the knots, the cups and balls Chim he drifted down the long and dusty road Horizon line he came to find edge of earth he fell below The legacy it shall remain represent the travelers name He will live on in his legendary name Traveling trickster he's a master of deceit He's a shady man and he sure can make a fool out of you with his sleight of hand Wandering mystery there's a legend to his name Chim the drifter drifts forever drifts forever Chim the Drifter drifts forever drifts forever Chim the Drifter drifts forever just the same as yesterday
