Ramble On Rose (Grateful Dead)

Lyrics

Just like Jack the Ripper
Just like Mojo Hand
Just like Billy Sunday
In a shotgun ragtime band.

Just like New York City
Just like Jericho
Pace the halls, and climb the walls
Get out when they blow.

Did you say your name was
Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on baby
Settle down easy
Ramble on Rose.

Just like Jack and Jill
Mama told the sailor
One go up, and one go down
Leave nothing for the tailor.

Just like Jack and Jill
Papa told the jailor
One heat up, and one cool down
Do yourself a favor.

Did you say your name was
Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on baby
Settle down easy
Ramble on Rose.

I'm gonna sing you
A hundred verses in ragtime.
I know this song, it ain't
Never gonna end.
Gonna march you up and down
The local county line.
Take you to the leader
Of a band.

Just like Crazy Otto
Just like Wolfman Jack
Sitting plush with a royal flush
Aces back to back.

Just like Mary Shelley
Just like Frankenstein
Clank your chains, and count your change
Try to walk the line.

Did you say your name was
Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on baby
Settle down easy
Ramble on Rose.

I'm gonna sing you
A hundred verses in ragtime.
I know this song, it ain't
Never gonna end.
Gonna march you up and down
The local county line.
Take you to the leader
Of a band.

Goodbye Mama and Papa
Goodbye Jack and Jill
The grass ain't greener
The wine ain't sweeter on
Either side of the hill.

Did you say your name was
Ramblin' Rose?
Ramble on baby
Settle down easy
Ramble on Rose.
Ramble on Rose.
