Just like jack the ripper, just like mojo hand,
Just like billy sunday, in a shotgun ragtime band,
Just like new york city, just like jerico,
Pace the halls and climb the walls and get out when they blow

Did you say your name was ramblin rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on rose

Just like jack and jill, mama told the jailer
One hear up, and one cool down, leave nothin for the tailor
Just like jack and jill, papa told the jailer
One go up, and one go down, do yourself a favor

Did you say your name was ramblin rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on rose

Im gonna to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime,
I know this song it aint never gonna end
Im gonna march you up and down along the county line,
Take you to the leader of a band

Just like crazy otto, just like wolfman jack,
Sittin plush with a royal flush, aces back to back
Just like mary shelly, just like frankenstein,
Clank your chains and count your change and try to walk the line

Did you say your name was ramblin rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on rose

Im gonna to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime,
I know this song it aint never gonna end
Im gonna march you up and down along the county line,
Take you to the leader of a band

Good-bye mama and papa
Good-bye jack and jill
The grass aint greener
The wine aint sweeter
Either side of the hill

Did you say your name was ramblin rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on rose
