The leaves are falling all around, time I was on my way

Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay

But now it's time for me to go, the autumn moon lights my way

For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way

Ah, sometimes I grow so tired

But I know I've got one thing I got to do

Ramble on, and now's the time, the time is now

To sing my song, I'm going 'round the world, I gotta find my girl

On my way, I've been this way ten years to the day

Ramble on, gotta find the queen of all my dreams

Got no time to for spreading roots

The time has come to be gone

And though "our health" we drank a thousand times

It's time to ramble on

Ramble on, and now the time, the time is now

To sing my song, I'm going 'round the world, I gotta find my girl

On my way, I've been this way ten years to the day

I gotta ramble on, I gotta find the queen of all my dreams

I tell you no lie

Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear

How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air

'Twas in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair

But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her

Her, her, yeah

Ah, there's nothing I can do now

I guess I'll keep on

Rambling, I'm gonna shake (Sing my song)

I gotta find my baby

I'm gonna ramble on, sing my song

Gonna work my way, going 'round the world

Baby, baby (Ramble on)

Do do do do do do do do, my baby

I can't stop this feeling in my heart

Every time I think about my baby I think "we gots to part"

Gotta keep on searching for my baby

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

I gotta keep on searching for my baby

My, my, my, my, my, my, baby

I can't find my bluebird!

I listened to what my bluebird said, but I, I can't find my bluebird!

I keep rambling, baby
