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
|
|
I went meanderin', meanderin'
|
For looking far and wide for a girl to be my bride
|
I went meanderin', oh meanderin'
|
Far from the old folks at home
|
