Roustabout

Roustabout

Original songwriter: Winfield Scott, Otis Blackwell

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 lot of space beneath that sky

Until 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 doing 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

Until 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' rovin' roustabout
