For years and years I rambled Drank my wine and gambled But one day I thouhght I settle down I met a fair young lady She said, she’ll be my baby We’ll build a cottage in the ol’ home town
(Dee-yodel…)
But somehow I can’t forget my good old ramblin’ days The railroad trains are calling me away I may be rough and I may be wild I may be tough and counted bile But I can’t give up my good ol’ rough and rowdy ways
(Dee-yodel…)
Sometimes I meet a bounder That knew me when I was a rounder He grabed my hand and says: boy, have a drink We go down to the pool room Getting the game and then soon The daylight come before I had a wink
