"My Rough And Rowdy Ways" lyrics

"My Rough And Rowdy Ways"
(originally by Jimmie Rodgers)

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


Writer(s): Elsie McWilliams, Jimmie Rodgers
