Bumming Around
Dean Martin · Everybody Loves Somebody: The Reprise Years 1962-1 [2002]
Got an old slauch hat got my roll on my shoulder
I'm as free as the breeze and I'll do as I please
Just a bummin' around.
Got a million friends don't feel any older
I got nothing to lose not even the blues
Just a bummin' around.
Whenever worries start to bothering me
I grab my coat old slauch hat hit the trail again you see.
I ain't got a dime don't care where I'm goin'
Well I'm as free as the breeze and I'll do as I please
Just a bummin' around.

Whenever worries start to bothering me
I grab my coat old slauch hat hit the trail again you see.
I ain't got a dime don't care where I'm goin'
Well I'm as free as the breeze and I'll do as I please
Just a bummin' around.
Just bummin' around...
