   Rompin' Rovin' Days   
   Bruce Murdoch   
      
   Hey, I've been a rambler all my rompin' rovin' days   
   A railway boy with nothin' for to do   
   My people waved farewell somewheres down the road   
   For hobos, friend, are only passin' through.   
      
   Now I've seen every city from San Marcos in the south   
   To the concrete fenced-in walls of New York town   
   And everywhere I go my name nobody wants to know   
   And the talkin' seems to stop when I'm around.   
      
   Now all in my life I've been quickly cast aside   
   Though my handshake never meant less than your own   
   If there's any which way for to fully understand   
   Then tell me 'cause I'd surely like to know.   
      
   For every mile I rode a freight train, I walked a city block   
   Gazin' through the windows at the goods I couldn't buy   
   But the thing that hurts me most is when I'm wanderin' alone   
   And no one cares enough to ask me why.   
      
   Hey, I've been a rambler all my rompin' rovin' days   
   A railway boy with nothin' for to do   
   My people waved farewell somewheres down the road   
   For hobos, friend, are only passin' through.
