Wandering Ways
(专辑: Safe Upon The Shore - 2010)
Farewell to the
whiskey, tobacco and smoke! Farewell to the
rum and occasional coke! Farewell to the
girls who came ready to play! For this is the
end of my wandering ways. Woke up one morning to the
slam of a
door. My lady had left me, she could take it no more! The
note on the
table in black and white told.. My wandering ways had left her heart cold. We met last December while out on the
tear. The
laughter it flowed with the
wine and the
beer! I
promised her riches, I
said I'd be true, She gave me a
baby and the
party was through. Farewell to the
whiskey, tobacco and smoke! Farewell to the
rum and occasional coke! Farewell to the
girls who came ready to play! For this is the
end of my wandering ways. Now I
miss my lady, I
miss her so much! The
smell of her hair and her comforting touch. And I
miss my boy and his ready smile! They needed a
man but I
was a
child. I
hope this song finds her wherever she is! And if you see her, would you tell her this? For rambling and roving I
don't give a
damn! The
boy that she left has grown into a
man. Farewell to the
whiskey, tobacco and smoke! Farewell to the
rum and occasional coke! Farewell to the
girls who came ready to play! For this is the
end of my wandering ways. [Instrumental Lead-up] There's lots to be said for being out on the
tear. As luck would have it the
very next year, I
met her again and she'd seen how I'd grown! Now we still go a
ramblin, but we do it at home. Come all you young ramblers wherever you are. Beware of the
ladies you meet at the
bar! The
promise of pleasure can change your whole life. You walk in with a
wallet and walk out with a
wife! Farewell to the
whiskey, tobacco and smoke! Farewell to the
rum and occasional coke! Farewell to the
girls who came ready to play! For this is the
end of my wandering ways. Farewell to the
whiskey, tobacco and smoke! Farewell to the
rum and occasional coke! Farewell to the
girls who came ready to play! For this is the
end of my wandering ways. For this is the
end of my wandering ways!
