Just like Jack the Ripper
Just like Mojo Hand
Just like Billy Sunday
In a shotgun ragtime band
Just like New York City
Just like Jericho
Race the halls and climb the walls
And get out when they blow
Did you say your name was
Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on, baby
Settle down easy
Ramble on, Rose
Just like Jack and Jill
Mama told the sailor
One go up and one go down
Nothin' for the sailor
Just like Jack and Jill
Papa told the jailer
One heat up and one cool down
Do yourself a favor
Did you say your name was
Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on, baby
Settle down easy
Ramble on, Rose
I'm gonna sing you a hundred verses in ragtime
I know this song, it ain't never gonna end
I'm gonna march you up and down the local county line
Take you to the leader of the band
ย
Just like Crazy Otto
Just like Wolfman Jack
Sittin' plush with a royal flush
Aces back to back
Just like Mary Shelley
Just like Frankenstein
Clank your chains, and count your change
And try to walk the line
Did you say your name was
Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on, baby
Settle down easy
Ramble on, Rose
I'm gonna sing you a hundred verses in ragtime
I know this song, it ain't never gonna end
I'm gonna march you up and down the local county line
Take you to the leader of the band
ย
Goodbye, Mama and Papa
Goodbye, Jack and Jill
The water ain't sweeter, the grass ain't greener
Either side of the hill
Did you say your name was
Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on, baby
Settle down easy
Ramble on, Rose
Ramble on, Rose
