Wandering

I've been wandering

Early late

From New York City

To the Golden Gate

And it don't look like

I'll ever stop my wandering

My daddy was an engineer

My brother drives a hack

My sister takes in laundry

While the baby balls the jack

And it don't look like

I'll ever stop my wandering

I've been in the army

I've worked on a farm

And all I've got to show

Is the muscle in my arm

And it don't look like

I'll ever stop my wandering

My ma she died

When I was young

My daddy took to stealing

And he got hung

And it don't look like

I'll ever stop my wandering

Snakes in the ocean

Eels in the sea

I let a redheaded woman

Make a fool out of me

And it don't look like

I'll ever stop my wandering

Well I've been wandering

Early late

From the New York City

To the Golden Gate

And it don't look like

I'll ever stop my wandering

No, it don't look like

I'll ever stop my wandering
