I'm the type of guy who never settles down
Where pretty girls are, you'll know that I'm around
A
I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cause to me they're all the same
E
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em, they don't even know my name
B A
They call me the Wanderer, yeah, Wanderer
E B
I roam round and round and round and round
Verse 2:
There's Flo on my left and there's Mary on my right
And Janie is the girl
that'll be with tonight
And when she asks me which one I love the best
I tear open my shirt and show
Rosie on my chest
'Cause I'm the Wanderer, yeah, Wanderer
I roam round and round and round and round
Bridge:
B A-E (bass guitar plays 'B')
Well, I roam from town to town
B A-A
Live life without a care
B
I'm as happy as a clown
C# F# B
With my 2 fists of iron but I'm goin' nowhere
Verse 3:
I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place;
I roam from town to town
And when I find myself a-fallin' for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine and drive around the world
'Cause I'm the Wanderer, yeah, Wanderer
I roam round and round and round and round
