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