I'm just a roustabout
Shiftin' from town to town
No job can hold me down, I'm just a knock-around guy
There's a lotta 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
Doin' 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", and a fast goodbye
Oh I'll go the way I want
Driftin' just like the sand
Doin' what job I can
Changin' 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 rovin' roustabout
I'll be a rovin' roustabout...I'll be a rovin' roustabout
..rovin', rovin' roustabout....
