I'll ramble far and wide But who knows where I'll be Walking down some rocky road Or sailing 'cross the sea? I have no true love No girl to leave behind It's my life and I like it Don't tell me my mind Don't tell me my mind Don't tell me that I'm wrong Let this song be remembered When I'm dead and gone Don't tell me my mind Don't tell me that I'm wrong Let this song be remembered when I'm gone I'll go and see this world of ours And all its people too From China to America Across the oceans blue I'll sing about my travels Good times I'll surely find It's my life and I like it Don't tell me my mind Don't tell me my mind Don't tell me that I'm wrong Let this song be remembered When I'm dead and gone Don't tell me my mind Don't tell me that I'm wrong Let this song be remembered when I'm gone You say I'm kind of foot-loose I'll never settle down But I don't want to hang around In this old one horse town I've got so many things to do And oh so little time It's my life and I like it Don't tell me my mind Don't tell me my mind Don't tell me that I'm wrong Let this song be remembered When I'm dead and gone Don't tell me my mind Don't tell me that I'm wrong Let this song be remembered when I'm gone
