steve forbert - my rough and rowdy ways lyrics

Loading...

[refrain]
yo+del+lay+ee, oh, yo+del+lay+ee, oh, yo+del+lay+hee

[verse 1]
for years and years i rambled, i drank my wines and i gambled
but one day i thought i would settle down
i met a perfect lady, she said she’d be my baby
we built a cottage in the old hometown

[refrain]
dee+yo+del+lay+ee, oh, yo+del+lay+ee, oh, yo+del+lay+hee

[chorus]
but, somehow, i can’t forget my good old rambling days
the railroad trains are calling me always
i may be rough, i may be wild, i may be tough and counted vile
but i can’t give up my rough and rowdy ways

[refrain]
oh+lay+hee, oh+lay+hee, oh+lay+hee

[instrumental break]

[refrain]
dee+yo+del+lay+ee, oh, yo+del+lay+ee, oh, yo+del+lay+hee
[verse 2]
sometimes, i meet a bounder who knew me when i was a rounder
he grabs my hand and says, “boy, have a drink”
we’d go down to the poolroom, get in the gang and then soon
the daylight comes before i’ve had a wink

[refrain]
dee+yo+del+lay+ee, oh, yo+del+lay+ee, oh, yo+del+lay+hee

[chorus]
but somehow i can’t forget my good old rambling days
the railroad trains are calling me always
i may be rough, i may be wild, i may be tough and counted vile
but i can’t give up my rough and rowdy—
i can’t give up my rough and rowdy—
i can’t give up my rough and rowdy ways

[refrain]
dee+yo+del+lay+ee, oh, yo+del+lay+ee, oh, yo+del+lay+hee
