Just like Jack and Jill, Mama told the sailor
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on, baby, settle down easy
I'm gonna sing, a hundred verses in ragtime
Ramble on, baby, settle down easy
One go up, and one go down, do yourself a favor
Good-bye, Mama and Papa, good-bye, Jack and Jill
Ramble on Rose
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose?
I know this song, it ain't never gonna end
Gonna march you up and down along the county line
I know this song, it ain't never gonna end
Just like Crazy Otto, just like Wolfman Jack
I'm gonna sing you a hundred verses in ragtime
Take you to the leader of the band
Sittin' plush with a royal flush, aces back to back
Just like Mary Shelley, just like Frankenstein
Gonna march you up and down the local county line
Just like Jack and Jill, Papa told the jailer
Ramble on Rose
Break your chains and count your change and try to walk the line
Ramble on Rose
Ramble on, baby, settle down easy
Ramble on, baby, settle down easy
Either side of the hill
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose?
The grass ain't greener, the wine ain't sweeter
Just like New York City, just like Jericho
Pace the halls and climb the walls, get out when they blow
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose?
Take you to the leader of the band
One heat up, and one cool down, leave nothin' for the tailor
