My Rough And Rowdy Ways Recorded by Merle Haggard Written by Jimmie Rodgers
C F C For years and years I rambled I drank my wine and gambled F C G7 C But one day I thought I would settle down F C I had met a perfect lady she said she'd be my baby D7 G7 We'd build a cottage in the old home town
C But somehow I can't give up my good old rambling ways D7 G7 Lord the railroad trains are calling me away C C7 I may be rough I may be wild F I may be tough but that's just my style C D7 G7 C I can't give up my good old rough and rowdy ways
But somehow I can't give up my good old rambling ways D7 G7 Lord the railroad trains are calling me away C C7 I may be rough I may be wild F I may be tough but that's just my style C D7 G7 C I can't give up my good old rough and rowdy ways.
