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 Jericho Pace the halls and climb the walls, 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, Papa told the jailer One heat up, and one cool down, leave nothin' for the tailor Just like Jack and Jill, Mama told the sailor 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 sing you a hundred verses in ragtime I know this song, it ain't never gonna end Gonna march you up and down along the county line Take you to the leader of the band Just like Crazy Otto, just like Wolfman Jack Sittin' plush with a royal flush, aces back to back Just like Mary Shelley, just like Frankenstein Break 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 sing, a hundred verses in ragtime I know this song, it ain't never gonna end Gonna march you up and down the local county line Take you to the leader of the band Good-bye, Mama and Papa, good-bye, Jack and Jill The gra** 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, ramble on Rose
