Lyrics - Roustabout by Elvis Presley

(words & music by giant - baum - kaye)
I’m just a roustabout
Shifted from town to town
No job can hold me down,
I’m just a knock-around guy
There’s a lot of space beneath that sky
Till
I find my place there’s no doubt...
I’ll be a rovin’ roustabout
Call me the carefree kind
I wander with the breeze
My mind and heart’s at ease
Doing what pleases me best
Gotta keep-a movin’ east or west
Till
I find my place there’s no doubt
I’ll be a rovin’ roustabout
And even if a pretty girl, should catch my eye
I’ll give her a quick hello, and a fast goodbye
I’ll go the way
I want
Driftin’ just like the sand
Doin’ what job
I can
Changing my plans as
I choose
Long as
I keep happy
I can’t lose
Till
I find my place there’s no doubt
I’ll be a rovin’ roustabout
I’ll be a rovin’ roustabout...
I’ll be a rovin’ roustabout
I’ll be a rovin’ roustabout..rovin’, rovin’ roustabout....
