"Ramble On Rose" lyrics
"Ramble On Rose"
Just like Jack the Ripper, just like Mojo Hand
Just like Billy Sunday, in a shotgun ragtime band
Just like New York City, just like Jericho
Pace the halls and climb the walls and get out when they blow
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose
Just like Jack and Jill, Mama told the sailor
One heat up, and one cool down, leave nothing for the tailor
Just like Jack and Jill, Papa told the jailer
One go up, and one go down, do yourself a favor
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose
I'm going to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime
I know this song it ain't never going to end
I'm going to march you up and down along the county line
Take you to the leader of a band
Just like Crazy Otto, just like Wolfman Jack
Sittin' plush with a royal flush, aces back to back
Just like Mary Shelly, just like Frankenstein
Clank your chains and count your change and try to walk the line
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose
I'm going to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime
I know this song it ain't never going to end
I'm going to march you up and down along the county line
Take you to the leader of a band
Goodbye Mama and Papa, goodbye Jack and Jill
The grass ain't greener, the wine ain't sweeter
Either side of the hill
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose
Ramble on Rose

The Avett Brothers - "I Wish I Was" I wish I was a flame dancing in a candle
Lighting up your living room high on the mantle
I could bring some romance without any scandal
And then when you were done you'd just put me out
I wish I was...
Blues Traveler - "The Mountains Win Again" I pick up my smile put it in my pocket
Hold it for a while try not to have to drop it
Men are not to cry so how am I to stop it
Keep it all inside don't show how much she rocked ya
Ooh can you feel...
The Wood Brothers - "I Got Loaded" Last night
I got loaded
On a bottle of wine
Bottle of wine
Last night
I got loaded
On a bottle of wine
Bottle of wine
But I feel alright
I feel alright
I feel alright
But I feel alright
The night...
