Meanderin' Lyrics - Dean Martin

One day I went meanderin' to find myself a wife 

A pretty miss to share my kiss and love me all my life 

The lonely bachelor's life I led began to get me down 

I bought a ring and everything and went right into town 

I went (meanderin', meanderin' 

Looking far and wide for a girl to be my bride 

I went meanderin', meanderin') 

Far from the old folks at home 

I ran into a friend of mine while wandering down the street 

He said he had a sister that I ought to meet 

He took me home to meet her but she weighed two hundred ten 

I shook my head and sadly said "oh here I go again"

I went (meanderin', meanderin' 

Looking far and wide for a girl to be my bride 

I went meanderin', meanderin') 

Far from the old folks at home 

I came across a pretty girl who said she'd love me so 

But she would bring her mother with us everywhere we'd go 

I was so happy on the day she said she'd be my wife 

But when she told me her ma would live with us for life 

I went (meanderin', meanderin' 

Looking far and wide for a girl to be my bride 

I went meanderin', meanderin') 

Far from the old folks at home 

Finally found myself a wife a gal who's sweet and true 

And when I'm tempted to do something I shouldn't do 

Then I remember days when things are not like they are now 

Well I recall when I was just a bachelor and how
