| Free and easy, that’s my style
|
| Howdy-do me, watch me smile
|
| Fare-thee-well me after a while
|
| 'Cause I gotta roam
|
| And any place I hang my hat is home
|
| Sweetenin' water, cherry wine
|
| Thank you kindly, suits me fine
|
| Kansas City, Caroline
|
| That’s my honeycomb
|
| 'Cause any place I hang my hat is home
|
| Birds roostin' in a tree
|
| Pick up and go, and the goin' proves
|
| That’s how it oughta be I pick up too when the spirit moves me
|
| (I go where it behoves me)
|
| Cross the river, 'round the bend
|
| «Hello stranger!», «So long friend!»
|
| There’s a voice in the lonesome wind
|
| That keeps whisp’ring, «Roam!»
|
| I’m going where a welcome mat is No matter where that is
|
| 'Cause any place I hang my hat is home |
