I was born in Louisiana raised in Algiers
And everywhere I go the people always say
There ain’t nothin’ in ramblin’ neither in runnin’ round
I’m gonna get myself a good man, ooh Lord and settle down
I was walking down the alley with my hand in my coat
The police stopped to shoot me over somethin’ I stole
There ain’t nothin’ in ramblin’ neither in runnin’ round
I’m gonna get myself a good man ooh Lord and settle down
Now the people on the highway is walkin’ and cryin’
Some is starvin’ some is dyin’
There ain’t nothin’ in ramblin’ neither in runnin’ round
I ‘m gonna get myself a good man ooh Lord and settle down
You may go to Hollywood try to get on the screen
But I’m gonna stay right here and eat more chowder and beans
There ain’t nothin’ in ramblin’ neither in runnin’ round
I’m gonna get myself a good man ooh Lord and settle down
