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 forget My good old rambling ways The railroad trains Are calling me away I may be tough, I may be wild I may be rough but that's just my style I can't give up my good old Rough and rowdy ways But somehow I can't forget My good old rambling ways The railroad trains Are calling me away I may be tough, I may be wild I may be rough but that's just my style I can't give up my good old Rough and rowdy ways
