Lyrics
My daddy is an engineer
My brother drives a hack
My sister takes in washin’
An’ the baby balls the jack
An’ it looks like I’m never
Gonna cease my wanderin’
I been a wanderin’ early and late
New York City to the Golden Gate
An’ it looks like I’m never
Gonna cease my wanderin’
Toiling ev’ryday in the rain or snow
As slowly down the hightway of life I go
Then at last I reach that final bend
Oh! Lord, where’s it gonna end?
Been a-workin’ in the army
Workin’ on a farm
All I got to show for it
Is the muscle in my arm
An’ it looks like I’m never
Gonna cease my wanderin’
