GThough I can't show you the Dyears of my life
That I Cspend on the road to Gfreedom
GDon't let it throw you, I Dknow of your strife
I Cknow what it's like to Groam
GI sang 'em a glad song, Dplayed 'em a sad song
CSang 'em the whole night Glong
GJust for a dollar or Dwhat they could offer
To Csomebody's ramblin' Gboy
CWhen the fun was done, I would pack my bags and I was Ggone
Though the Dwomen were kind there was Cnothing to bind me to Gone
'Til Csomebody Gchanged my Crough and rowdy Gways
CSomebody Gchanged my Cole carousing Gdays
Oh Cwhen I was a Gyoung boy I Clearned to Gsurvive
'Til Csomebody Gcame and Dstayed my sportin' Glife
I lived in the barrooms the juke joints and gin mills
I worked any dive in town
Never to proud to pass my hat around
In every place I found
I'll sing you a glad song, play you a sad song
Sing 'em the whole night long
Just for a dollar or what you can offer
To somebody's ramblin' boy
There were times when lonely was the only feeling left in me
Or when the cold and the rain made it hard on a man to be free
'Till somebody changed my tough and hungry days
Somebody changed my rough and rowdy ways
Now I don't really care no more 'bout nickels and a dime
The one I love is all I need to help me spend my time
Somebody came and rolled away my stone
Somebody came, and she made me feel at home
Somebody changed my rough and rowdy ways
Somebody changed my ole carousing days
Oh when I was young boy I learned to stay alive
'Til somebody came and stayed my sportin' life
I'll sing you a glad song, play you a sad song
Sing 'em the whole night long
Just for a dollar or what you can offer
To somebody's ramblin' boy
