My Rough And Rowdy Ways

(Jimmie Rodgers)



For years and years I've rambled I drank my wine and gambled

But one day I thought I would settle down

I have met a perfect lady she said she'd be my baby

We built a cottage in the old hometown.



But somehow I can't give up my good old rambling ways

Lord the railroad trains are calling me away

I may be rough I may be wild I may be tough and that's just my style

I can't give up my good old rough and rowdy ways.

I may be rough I may be wild I may be tough and that's just my style

I can't give up my good old rough and rowdy ways...
