|
Had me a woman down in Tennessee |
|
Boy she used to love me |
|
Free fever got me and I had to go |
|
I never seen that woman no more |
|
New York City is a place I been |
|
I was there one time with a travellin' band |
|
Young girl there wanted me to stay |
|
I think she wanted me to pay |
|
Roll it out, roll it in |
|
Here we go down the road again |
|
Drifters life is a drifters wife |
|
Don't say I didn't tell you so |
|
Travellin' man now he don't know |
|
Only what he hears on the radio |
|
Politics and money don't bother him |
|
Only good lookin' women and a bottle of gin |
|
Portland, Oregon, to the Mexican line |
|
Boy let me tell you the women are fine |
|
If you don't hang around there very long |
|
They'll never ever know you're gone |
|
Roll it out, roll it in |
|
Here we go down the road again |
|
Drifters life is a drifters wife |
|
Don't say I didn't tell you so |
