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
