You ask me why I wander   Why I'm always on the roam   Let me tell you sweetheart   I've never had a home      I've got sand,burning sand in my shoes      I've had girls to call me sweetheart   But I always say goodbye   Cos I only love three people   Me,myself and I      I've got sand,burning sand in my shoes      I've got sand,burning sand in my shoes   I keep movin' just to dodge the blues   I'd love to stay a while with you   A wedding ring we'd chose   But I've got sand,burning sand in my shoes      I met a girl the other night   Who pleased me to a 'T'   Till she puckered up and whispered low   Won't you please marry me      Then I got sand burnin' sand in my shoes      I've got sand,burnin' sand in my shoes   I keep movin' just to dodge the blues      I'd love to stay a while with you   A wedding ring we'd choose   But I've got sand,burnin' sand in my shoes
