Merle Haggard - My rough and rowdy ways

For ^Cyears and years I've rambled I ^Fdrank my wine and ^Cgambled But ^Fone day I ^Cthought I would ^Gsettle ^Cdown ^CI have met a perfect lady ^FShe said she'd be my ^Cbaby ^DWe built a cottage in the old home^Gtown

But ^Csomehow I can't give up my good old rambling ways Lord, the ^Drailroad trains are calling me a^Gway I ^Cmay be rough, I may be wild, I ^Fmay be tough and that's just my style I ^Ccan't give up my ^Dgood old ^Frough and ^Growdy ^Cways
