Ramblin', Scramblin' |
| Ramblin', scramblin' |
| Tryin' to get my mind untangled |
| Ain’t never seen nothin' in the whole wide world |
| That give more trouble than to try 'n' love a girl |
| Like most everybody I’ve had bad luck, you know I’ve been down and out and |
| didn’t have a buck |
| I’ve been hired and fired and loved and mistrusted and three or four women left |
| me busted |
| Took my money… Took my lovin'… Took my toothpaste too |
| First went ramblin' a few years ago, some fool woman she tried to tell me no |
| I had an ol' leather bag it wasn’t even mine, I had a heart full of sorrow and |
| a tangled up mind |
| She done it… She kept squezzing toothpaste in my ear… She said I couldn’t |
| leave |
| Took 3 or 4 steps backwards and gave her a dropkick right in the crotch |
| Her eyes lit up and said oh your leaving… yeah |
| Yeah, I headed for New Orleans Louisiana and all night drinkin' and jazz piano |
| That music in the air will set your toes a tappin' but those hustlin' women |
| sent me a packin' |
| Lickity split… I split |
| Met a gal down there said she came from way out west, said she could roll a |
| cigarette with just one hand |
| She proved it… she rolled me with the other |
| Yeah, I grabbed my bag I had my hat in my hand, took the advice to go west |
| young man |
| I figured now I’d finally learned my lesson, me and women weren’t messin' |
| Met another un… Wasn’t too good lookin'… But juggs whew |
| I’m not saying she’s a big chick or anything but one time I did ask her what |
| size bra she wore |
| She said 6 7/8. |
| I said my god what did you measure it with… She said Stetson |
| whew |
| Yeah well, I got to Californ-i-a, I figured it was time I headed her my way |
| She was talking about us and having a home and I was talking about us and |
| livin' in Uncle Henry’s basement |
| She said what… said she didn’t understand |
| I proceeded to take 3 or 4 steps backwards and give her a dropkick right in the |
| crotch |
| I said honey I believe in treating women gentle but first you’ve got to get |
| their attention |
| Yeah, the same things have happened over again, every time I meet a woman she |
| tries to pin me in |
| Found the only way to handle a woman is to keep your bags packed, keep movin', |
| steppin' lightly |
| Eyes forward, proud, determined, masculine |
| Probably get horny |
| Can’t live with 'em and you can’t live without em |
| That’s why I write so many of these weird songs I guess |
