Meanderin’

Lyrics

[Verse 1] One day I went meanderin' to find myself a wife A pretty miss to share my kiss and love me all my life The lonely bachelor's life I led began to get me down I bought a ring and everything and went right into town [Chorus] I went meanderin', meanderin' Looking far and wide for a girl to be my bride I went meanderin', meanderin' Far from the old folks at home [Verse 2] I ran into a friend of mine while wandering down a street He said he had a sister that he thought I ought to meet He took me home to meet her but she weighed two hundred ten I shook my head and sadly said, "Oh, here I go again" [Chorus] I went meanderin', meanderin' Looking far and wide for a girl to be my bride I went meanderin', meanderin' Far from the old folks at home [Verse 3] I came across a pretty girl who said she loved me so But she would bring her mother with us everywhere we'd go I was so happy on the day she said she'd be my wife But when she told me that her ma would live with us for life [Chorus] I went meanderin', meanderin' Looking far and wide for a girl to be my bride I went meanderin', meanderin' Far from the old folks at home [Verse 4] I finally found myself a wife, a girl who's sweet and true And when I'm tempted to do something that I shouldn't do Then I remember days when things are not like they are now Well, I recall when I was just a bachelor and how [Chorus] I went meanderin', oh, meanderin' Looking far and wide for a girl to be my bride I went meanderin', oh, meanderin' Far from the old folks at home
