RAMBLIN' ROUND
(Testo di Woody Guthrie - musica di Leadbelly)


Ramblin’ around your city,
Ramblin’ around your town.
I never see a friend I know
As I go ramblin’ around, boys,
As I go ramblin’ around.

My sweetheart and my parents
I left in my old home town.
I’m out to do the best I can
As I go ramblin’ around, boys,
As I go ramblin’ around.

The peach trees they are loaded
The limbs are bending down,
I pick ‘em all day for a dollar, boys
As I go ramblin’ around,
As I go ramblin’ around.

Sometimes the fruit gets rotten,
Falls down on the ground.
There’s a hungry mouth for every peach
As I go ramblin’ around, boys,
As I go ramblin’ around.

I wish that I could marry;
I wish I could settle down;
But I can’t save a penny, boys,
As I go ramblin’ around,
As I go ramblin’ around.

My mother prayed that I would be
A man of some renown;
But I am just a refugee,
As I go ramblin’ around, boys,
As I go ramblin’ around.
