| Left Chicago in the summer, New York in the fall,
|
| Detroit in the winter didn’t prove a thing at all
|
| I got those roamin' blues
|
| Yes I got those roamin' blues
|
| Can’t find no place to settle
|
| Woo I got those roamin' blues
|
| Joined a club in old Saint Louis, that G.I. |
| free loot club
|
| Stood in line so long man, wore my legs down to a nub
|
| I hit the road again
|
| Yes I hit the road again
|
| Can’t find no place to settle
|
| So I hit the road again
|
| I thought I’d made it Jack in good old Albuquerq'
|
| I was on the wrong track, you know they tried to make me work
|
| — ain't that a killer?
|
| I hit the road right quick
|
| Yes that judge was much too slick
|
| Can’t find no place to settle
|
| Woo I hit the road right quick
|
| Then Las Vegas was the next stop, that fast town left me weak
|
| The dice man made twelve passes and I was up the well-known creek
|
| Those gamblers put me down
|
| Yes I had to walk right out of town
|
| Mm-mm, that ain’t no place to settle
|
| Mmm, I had to walk right out of town
|
| Ah but I hit the greatest town of all, Frantic Frisco
|
| Got me a gal with plenty gold and she just won’t let me go
|
| I think I’ve found a place
|
| Yes I got my boots all laced
|
| Found me a home, don’t have to roam, it’s good news,
|
| I’ve lost those roamin' blues |
