I'm just a roustabout shifting 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 Till 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             I'll go the way I want driftin' just like the sand Doin' what job I can changing my plans as I choose  Long as I keep happy I can't lose Till 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 I'll be a rovin' roustabout Rovin' rovin' rovin' roustabout
