Everyone knows she's a ramblin' rose    she's a beauty growin' wild!    Birds in their nest seem to whistle their best    for mother nature's favourite child!       She's got the kind of affection    that just winds around your heart!    You better run for protection    or she might upset your flower cart!       I hate to disclose that ma ramblin' rose    is gonna meet her Waterloo!    I let her play but she can't get away    'cause I know just what to do!       Anyone knows you can train a rose    to be a clingin' vine!    So, from this day hence, there'll be a picket fence    'round that ramblin' rose of mine!       Now, everyone knows she's a ramblin' rose    she's a beauty growin' wild!    Birds in their nest seem to whistle their best    for mamma nature's favourite child!       She's got the kind of affection    that just winds around your heart!    You'd better run for protection    or she might upset your flower cart!       I hate to disclose that ma ramblin' rose    is gonna meet her Waterloo!    I let her play but she can't get away    'cause I know just what to do!       Anyone knows you can train a rose    to be a clingin' vine!    So, from this day hence, there'll be a picket fence    'round that ramblin' rose of mine!       Music by Joseph Burke    with lyrics by Joseph Allan McCarthy Jr. 1948
