I've been wanderin' early late   From new york city to the golden gate   And it don't look like   I'll ever stop my wanderin'      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'      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'      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'      Snakes in the ocean   Eels in the sea   I let a redheaded woman make a fool out of me   And it don't look like   I'll ever stop my wanderin'      I've been wanderin' early late   From the 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'
