My Rough And Rowdy Ways Songtext
von Hank Snow

For years and years i′ve rambled
Drank my wines and gambled
But one day i thought i'd settle down
I met a perfect lady
She said she′d be my baby
We built a cottage in the old hometown
But somehow i can't forget
My good old rambling days
Now the railroad trains are calling me away
Well i may be rough
I may be wild I may be tough and out of style
But i can't give up
My good old rough and rowdy ways
Now sometimes when 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 had a wink
But somehow i can′t forget...
