i'm a roustabout

i'm just a roustabout

shifted from town to town

no job can hold me down

i'm just a knock-around guy

there's a lot of space beneath that sky

till i find my place there's no doubt. i'll be a rovin' roustabout

call me the carefree kind

i wander with the breeze

my mind and heart's at ease

doing what pleases me best

gotta keep-a movin' east or west

till i find my place there's no doubt

i'll be a rovin' roustabout

and even if a pretty girl

should catch my eye

i'll give her a quick hello"
