My father is an engineer, my brother drives a hach
My sister takes in Waahing, while the baby balls the gack
And it looks like I'm never gonna cease my wanderin'
Now I've been wanderin' early and I've bee wanderin' late
From New York to Chicago, and by the golden gate
And it looks like I'm never gonna cease my wandering
I've been working in the city, I've been working on the farm
And all I've got to show is just the muscle in my arm
And it looks like I'm never gonna cease my wanderin'
The blue sky up avove me, and the green grass all around
I've been looking for something that I have never found
And it looks like I'm never gonna cease my wandein'
There's fish in the ocean and there's eels in the sea
But it's a red-headed woman that made a wreck out of me
And it looks like I'm never gonna cease my wanderin'
Ashes to shes, and dust to dust
If the whiskey don't get you, then the women must
And it looks like I'm never gonna cease my wanderin'
