Lyrics I'm A Roustabout - Elvis Presley, The Jordanaires

I'm A Roustabout

I’m just a roustabout
Shifted from town to town
No job can hold me down, I’m just a knock-around guy
There’s a lot of space beneath that sky
Till I find my place there’s no doubt…
I’ll be a rovin' roustabout
Call me the carefree kind
I wander with the breeze
My mind and heart’s at ease
Doing what pleases me best
Gotta keep-a movin' east or west
Till I find my place there’s no doubt
I’ll be a rovin' roustabout
And even if a pretty girl, should catch my eye
I’ll give her a quick «hello», and a fast goodbye
I’ll go the way I want
Driftin' just like the sand
Doin' what job I can
Changing my plans as I choose
Long as I keep happy I can’t lose
Till I find my place there’s no doubt
I’ll be a rovin' roustabout
I’ll be a rovin' roustabout… I'll be a rovin' roustabout
I’ll be a rovin' roustabout.
rovin', rovin' roustabout…
