[Verse 1] I'm just a roustabout Shifting 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 roving' roustabout [Verse 2] 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 roving' roustabout [Bridge] And even if a pretty girl, should catch my eye I'll give her a quick "hello", and a fast goodbye [Verse 3] I'll go the way I want Drifting' just like the sand Doing' what job I can Changing my plans as I choose Long as I keep happy I can't lose Till I find my place there's no doubt I'll be a roving' roustabout [Outro] I'll be a roving' roustabout, I'll be a roving' roustabout I'll be a roving' roustabout, Rovin', Rovin' roustabout
