Ramble On Rose Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Robert Hunter Performer(s): The Grateful Dead; Emory Joseph
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 Jerico Pace the halls and climb the walls
and 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 jailor One hear up, and one cool down, leave nothin' for the tailor Just like Jack and Jill, Papa told the jailer One go up, and one go 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 to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime I know this song it ain't never gonna end I'm gonna march you up and down along the county line Take you to the leader of a band
Just like Crazy Otto, just like Wolfman Jack Sittin plush with a royal flush, aces back to back Just like Mary Shelly, just like Frankenstein Clank your chains and count your change and 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 to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime I know this song it ain't never gonna end I'm gonna march you up and down along the 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 Either side of the hill
Did you say your name was Ramblin' Rose? Ramble on baby, settle down easy Ramble on Rose
