FThough I can't show you the Gyears of my life
That I Fspend on the road to Ffreedom
FDon't let it throw you, I Gknow of your strife
I Fknow what it's like to Froam
FI sang 'em a glad song, Gplayed 'em a sad song
FSang 'em the whole night Flong
FJust for a dollar or Gwhat they could offer
To Fsomebody's ramblin' Fboy
FWhen the fun was done, I would pack my bags and I was Fgone
Though the Gwomen were kind there was Fnothing to bind me to Fone
'Til Fsomebody Fchanged my Frough and rowdy Fways
FSomebody Fchanged my Fole carousing Fdays
Oh Fwhen I was a Fyoung boy I Flearned to Fsurvive
'Til Fsomebody Fcame and Gstayed my sportin' Flife
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
