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 jailer |
|
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. |
|
Good-bye mama and papa |
|
Good-bye 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. |
