Ramblin' I'm gonna shakeVerse 1. Leaves are falling all around
Time I was on my way
Thanks to you I'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stay
But now it's time for me to go
The autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain and with it pain
And it's headed my way
Bridge Sometimes I grow so tired
But I know one thing I gotta do
Chorus Ramble on Now's the time, the time is now
Sing my song Goin round the world gotta find my girl
On my way I been this way ten years to the day
Ramble on Gonna find the queen of all my dreams
Verse 2. Got no time for spreadin roots
The time has come to be gone
And tho our health we drank a thousand times
Its time to ramble on
Versd 3. Mines a tale that can't be told
My freedom I hold dear
How years ago, in days of old
When magick filled the air
Twas in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair
But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and
Slipped away with her, her, her, yeah
Bridge 2 Ain't nothing I can do, no
Guess I'll keep on...
Outro Ramblin' I'm gonna shake
Sing my song, I gotta find my baby, I'm gonna
Ramble On, Sing my song, Gotta work my way around the world
Baby, Baby, Ramble on baby doo, doo, doo, doo, doo my baby
Keep searchin' for my baby I keep a-Ramblin' baby
I keep a-Ramblin' baby
