Ramblin' Rose

(album: Nuggets - 1977)

Everyone knows she's a rambling rose
She's a beauty growing wild!
Birds in their nest seem to whistle their best
For mother nature's favourite child!

She's got the kind of affection
That just winds around your heart!
You better run for protection
Or she might upset your flower cart!

I hate to disclose that ma rambling rose
Is gonna meet her Waterloo!
I let her play but she can't get away
'Cause I know just what to do!

Anyone knows you can train a rose
To be a clinging vine!
So, from this day hence, there'll be a picket fence
'Round that rambling rose of mine!

Now, everyone knows she's a rambling rose
She's a beauty growing wild!
Birds in their nest seem to whistle their best
For mamma nature's favorite child!

She's got the kind of affection
That just winds around your heart!
You'd better run for protection
Or she might upset your flower cart!

I hate to disclose that ma rambling rose
Is gonna meet her Waterloo!
I let her play but she can't get away
'Cause I know just what to do!

Anyone knows you can train a rose
To be a clinging vine!
So, from this day hence, there'll be a picket fence
'Round that rambling rose of mine!
