For years and years I rambled
Drank my wine and gambled
But then one day I thought I'd settle down
I met a sweet little lady
And she said she'd be my baby
And we built a cottage in the old hometown
ย
I can't forget my good old rambling days
Them old freight trains keep calling me away
I may be rough, I may be wild
I may be tough and kind of defiled
But I can't give up my good old rough and rowdy ways
ย
Sometimes I'll meet a bounder
Who knew me when I was a rounder
He'll grab my hand and say, "Boy, have a drink"
We'll go down to the pool room
Get in a game and then soon
It's broad daylight and I've not had a wink
(I don't feel like going to work either)
But I can't forget my good old rambling days
Them old freight trains keep calling me away
I may be rough, I may be wild
I may be tough and a little defiled
But I can't give up my good old rough and rowdy ways
