MY RAMBLIN' HEART
by Don Grashey and Jim Amadeo
(Recorded March 16, 1954)
I may be a drifter, who wandered from the start
But I saw all the sights there are to touch the human heart
They say that I'm a gypsy, and I'm a ramblin' man
But it grew wise, my wanderin' heart, since my wanderin' life began
I know life and I know love, I felt the good and bad
I met the true, I've met the blue, I've met the gay and sad
I know the fears, I've seen the tears that untrue hearts can bring
I saw the joy of girl and boy when true love makes them sing
I have known the bitter, and I have known the sweet
And I once knew the broken heart, a life so incomplete
But now my heart's contented, it's happy just to roam
For it grew wise, my ramblin' heart, now my ramblin heart's my home
I met those who found true love, whose hearts were full of song
I met the bluest hearts untrue who were payin' for their wrong
I hear some laugh, I hear some cry as through the towns I roam
But it's too wise, my ramblin' heart, and the open road's my home
(repeat first two verses)
