LYRICS:
 
 
VERSE 1
 
     I've been wand'rin' early and late,
     From New York City to the Golden Gate.
     And it don't look like I'll ever stop my wanderin'.
 
VERSE 2
 
     My daddy was an engineer, my brother drives a hack,
     My sister takes in laundry while the baby balls the jack.
     And it don't look like I'll ever stop my wanderin'.
 
VERSE 3
 
     I've been in the army, I've worked on a farm,
     And all I've got to show is the muscle in my arm.
     And it don't look like I'll ever stop my wanderin'.
 
VERSE 4
 
     My ma, she died when I was young,
     My daddy took to stealin' and he got hung.
     And it don't look like I'll ever stop my wanderin'.
 
VERSE 5
 
     Snakes in the ocean, eels in the sea,
     I let a red-headed woman make a fool out of me.
     And it don't look like I'll ever stop my wanderin'.
 
VERSE 6
 
     Well, I've been wand'rin' early and late,
     From New York City to the Golden Gate.
     And it don't look like I'll ever stop my wanderin'--
     No, it don't look like I'll ever stop my wanderin'.
