When Am I Ever Gonna Settle Down

Bobby Bare · Folsom Prison Blues/I'm a Long Way from Home [Coll [2004]

(John A. Lomax - Artie Large)



I've walked the streets of small Texas towns

I've seen the snowfalls in New York

For a young man I guess I've been around

But when am I ever gonna settle down?



I have seen Grand Canyon and the Great Niagara Falls

Had chains on my legs in Wichita

Yeah for a young man I guess I've been around

But when am I ever gonna settle down?



I've known girls from Maine to Alabam

I've loved the Cajun Queens down in Louisian

What will she be like when I reach that next town

Will that be the woman to make me settle down?



Well I loved me a Georgia peach but she turned out wrong

She didn't move me so I moved on

For a young man I guess I've been around

But when am I ever gonna settle down?...
