My Rough And Rowdy Ways
Recorded by Merle Haggard
Written by Jimmie Rodgers
C F C
For years and years I rambled I drank my wine and gambled
F C G7 C
But one day I thought I would settle down
F C
I had met a perfect lady she said she'd be my baby
D7 G7
We'd build a cottage in the old home town
C
But somehow I can't give up my good old rambling ways
D7 G7
Lord the railroad trains are calling me away
C C7
I may be rough I may be wild
F
I may be tough but that's just my style
C D7 G7 C
I can't give up my good old rough and rowdy ways
But somehow I can't give up my good old rambling ways
D7 G7
Lord the railroad trains are calling me away
C C7
I may be rough I may be wild
F
I may be tough but that's just my style
C D7 G7 C
I can't give up my good old rough and rowdy ways.
