I'll ramble far and wide   But who knows where I'll be   Walking down some rocky road   Or sailing 'cross the sea?   I have no true love   No girl to leave behind   It's my life and I like it   Don't tell me my mind      Don't tell me my mind   Don't tell me that I'm wrong   Let this song be remembered   When I'm dead and gone   Don't tell me my mind   Don't tell me that I'm wrong   Let this song be remembered when I'm gone      I'll go and see this world of ours   And all its people too   From China to America   Across the oceans blue   I'll sing about my travels   Good times I'll surely find   It's my life and I like it   Don't tell me my mind      Don't tell me my mind   Don't tell me that I'm wrong   Let this song be remembered   When I'm dead and gone   Don't tell me my mind   Don't tell me that I'm wrong   Let this song be remembered when I'm gone      You say I'm kind of foot-loose   I'll never settle down   But I don't want to hang around   In this old one horse town   I've got so many things to do   And oh so little time   It's my life and I like it   Don't tell me my mind      Don't tell me my mind   Don't tell me that I'm wrong   Let this song be remembered   When I'm dead and gone   Don't tell me my mind   Don't tell me that I'm wrong   Let this song be remembered when I'm gone
