I've been wandering early late

From new york city to the golden gate

And it don't look like

I'll ever stop my wandering

Daddy was an engineer

My brother drives a hack

Sister takes in laundry

While the baby balls the jack

And it don't look like

I'll ever stop my wandering

Been in the army

Worked on a farm

All I've got to show

Is the muscle in my arm

And it don't look like

I'll ever stop my wandering

My ma she died when I was young

Daddy took to stealing and he got hung

And it don't look like

I'll ever stop my wandering

Snakes in the ocean

Eels in the sea

I let a redheaded woman

Make a fool out of me

And it don't look like

I'll ever stop my wandering

I've been wandering early late

From the new york city to the golden gate

And it don't look like

I'll ever stop my wandering

No it don't look like

I'll ever stop my wandering
