Текст песни
Though I can show you the years of my life
That I spent on the road of freedom
Don't let it throw you, I know of your strife
I know what it's like to roam
I sang 'em a glad song, played 'em a sad song
Sang 'em the whole night long
Just for a dollar or what they could offer
To somebody's ramblin' boy
When the fun was done
I would pack my bags and I was gone
Though the women were kind
There was nothing to bind me to one
Somebody changed my rough and rowdy ways
Somebody changed my old carousing days
When I was a young boy I learned to survive
'Til somebody came and stayed my sporting life
I lived in the barrooms, the juke joints and gin mills
I worked any dive in town
Never too 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
Then somebody changed my cold and hungry days
Somebody changed my rough and rowdy ways
Well I don't really care no more 'bout nickels and dimes
The one I love is all I need to help me spend my time
Somebody came and rolled away my stone
Somebody came and made me feel at home
Somebody changed my rough and rowdy ways
Somebody changed my old carousing days
When I was a young boy I learned to survive
'Til somebody came and stayed my sporting 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
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
I'll sing you a glad song, play you a sad song
