Roustabout (NOV takes 14–16) Songtext
von Elvis Presley

I′m just a roustabout
Shifting from town to town
No job can hold me down
I'm just a knock-around guy

There′s a lot of space beneath that sky
'Til I find my place, there's no doubt
I′ll be a roving roustabout

Call me the carefree kind
I wander with the breeze
My mind and heart′s at ease
Doing what pleases me best

Gotta keep-a moving east or west (east or west, east or west)
'Til I find my place, there′s no doubt (no doubt)
I'll be a roving roustabout


And even if a pretty girl (ooh-ooh)
Should catch my eye
I′ll give her a quick, "Hello" (hello)
And a fast goodbye

I'll go the way I want
Drifting just like the sand
Doing what job I can
Changing my plans as I choose (I choose)

Long as I keep happy, I can′t lose (can't lose)
'Til I find my place, there′s no doubt
I′ll be a roving roustabout

I'll be a roving roustabout
I′ll be a roving roustabout
Roving, roving roustabout
I'll be a roving roustabout
