| 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 |
