My Rough And Rowdy Ways Lyrics

For years and years I've rambled



I drank my wine and gambled



And then one day I thought I'd settle down



I met a sweet little lady



And she told me she'd be my baby



We bought a cottage on the old hometown







(Yodel)







I can't forget my rough and rowdy ways



Them old freight trains keep calling ma always



I may be rough, I may be wild,



I may act tough but it's just my style



 Cause I can't forget my good old rough and rowdy ways







(Yodel)







Sometimes when I meet a rounder



Who knew me when I was a bounder



He grabs my hand and says "boy, have a drink!"



We go down to the poolroom, get in the gang and then soon



It's broad daylight and I ain't had a wink







(yodel)







I can't forget my rough and rowdy ways



Them old freught trains keep calling me always



I may be rough, I may be wild, 



I may act tough but it's just my style



'Cause I can't forget my good old rough and rowdy ways







(YODEL)
