My Rough And Rowdy Ways Lyrics - Merle Haggard

For years and years I've rambled 

I drank my wine and gambled 

But one day I thought I would settle down 

I have met a perfect lady 

She said she'd be my baby 

We built a cottage in the old hometown 

But somehow I can't give up 

My good old rambling ways 

Lord, the railroad trains are calling me away 

I may be rough, I may be wild 

I may be tough and that's just my style 

I can't give up my good old rough and rowdy ways 

But somehow I can't give up 

My good old rambling ways 

Lord, the railroad trains are calling me away 

I may be rough, I may be wild 

I may be tough and that's just my style 

I can't give up my good old rough and rowdy ways 

[Incomprehensible] blues boy
