I got ramblin', I got ramblin' on my mind. I got ramblin', I got ramblin' all on my mind. Hate to leave my baby, but you treats me so unkind. . I got mean things, I got mean things all on my mind.
Well, I woke up this morning, I best get rolling on. . Well, come here baby, sit down on daddy's knee. Well, come here baby, sit down on daddy's knee.
When you go through a day. And the things that people say. They make you feel so small. They make you feel that. Your heart will just never stop aching.
My gal and I, we had a fight. And I'm all by myself. I guess she thinks now that she's gone. I'll lay right on the shelf. I'm gonna show her she's all wrong.
Now if you feel that you can't go on. Because all of your hope is gone,. And your life is filled with much confusion. Until happiness is just an illusion,.
Now this here's a story about the Rock Island Line. Well the Rock Island Line she runs down into New Orleans. There's a big tollgate down there and you know.
Now I'm a walkin' groundhog, mama and I walks around in my den. Now I'm a walkin' groundhog, mama and I walks around in my den. Now if I come out and see my shadow, John I believe I'll go back in.
It begins to tell,. 'round midnight, midnight.. I do pretty well, till after sundown,. Suppertime I'm feelin' sad;. But it really gets bad,. 'round midnight..
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. . Take your time and make me love you good. Take your time and make me love you good.
Well, I got a gal. She lives up on the hill. Well, I got a gal. She lives up on the hill. Well, this woman's tryin' to quit me, Lord. But I love her still.
M. I say M-O. M-O-P. M-O-P-P. Mop. M-O-P-P. Mop Mop Mop Mop. . R. I say R-A. R-A-G. R-A-G-G. Rag. R-A-G-G M-O-P-P. Rag Mop. . Doo-doo-doo-DAH-dee-ah-dah.
My gal and I, we had a fight. And I'm all by myself. I guess she thinks now that she's gone. I'll lay right on the shelf. I'm gonna show her she's all wrong.
One little kiss, a moment of bliss, then hours of deep regret. One little smile, and after a while, a longing to forget. One little heartache left as a token.
It begins to tell,. 'round midnight, midnight.. I do pretty well, till after sundown,. Suppertime I'm feelin' sad;. But it really gets bad,. 'round midnight..
They say, Ruby you're like a dream. Not always what you seem. And though my heart may break when I awake. Let it be so. I only know, Ruby, it's you. .
Hey baby. That's alright people. I know that's alright. Oh, when we love each other. I know that's alright. Oh feel it, feel it. Oh everybody feel it.
Life's great, life's grand,. Future all planned,. No more clouds in the sky,. How'm I ridin'? I'm ridin' high!. . Someone I love,. Mad for my love,. So long, Jonah goodbye!.
I love a girl named Madeline. I know she loves me, too. For ev'ry night the moon is bright. She rides in my canoe. . At midnight on the river. I heard her father call,.
Rollin', rollin', rollin'. Rollin', rollin', rollin'. Rollin', rollin', rollin'. Rollin', rollin', rollin'. Rawhide. . She rollin', rollin', rollin'. Though the streams are swollen.
