Zig Zag Wanderer Lyrics

Zig zag wanderer, zig zag wanderer (rep.)
You can huff, you can puff
You'll never blow my house down
You can zig, you can zag
Whoa I'm gonna stay, gonna stay around (rep.)

You can jump, you can holler
Never lose what I found
Heaven's free 'cept for a dollar
You can zig, you can zag
Whoa I'm gonna stay, gonna stay around (rep.)

The zig zag wanderer had a zigzag child
Zig zag traveller for the mercy mile
Found his wheels and nature scene
Quenched his thirst, (in a?) way it never been
Zig zag wanderer (rep.)

You can dance, you can prance
Freeze those timbers, drop some beams
Hide my shield, throw away my lance
Zig zag child, mercy mile
Zig zag dream, zig zag dream
Zig zag

Cover art for Zig Zag Wanderer lyrics by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band

Its about a homeless person aimlessly wandering through life in a zig zag fasion.

You can huff, you can puff You'll never blow my house down --You cant blow it down because he lives on the streets

Never lose what I found --He appreciates everything he gets

Heaven's free 'cept for a dollar --Its hard to live happily when your homeless

The zig zag wanderer had a zigzag child --Homeless people have homeless kids

I think it's about the legendary Spanish swordsman ZORRO!

Zorro roaming the streets of Old California making the sign of the Z with his sword

think its "these old timbers got strong beams". ..reckon the songs about seekers (whom im informed were somewhat legion back den in dem sixteas...)..wandering through breathing techniques-yoga /drugs "you can huff you can puff " however the captains got some ungood news despite aw that zigin n zaggin " you never know what i have found " the wanderer-seeker searches ..dances n prances..has kids ..gets back to nature (i think it is "Found his Queen in natures scene") but theyre at the end merely "zig zag dreams"...ungrounded ...unlike beefheart whos gonna throw away his armour n ...simply stay around ...
