The Wanderer - Song Lyrics

  • Originally performed by Dion
  • Reached # 2 on the top 40 charts in 1961
  • Classic example of North Carolina "Beach Music"

Oh well I'm the type of guy who will never settle down,
Where pretty girls are well you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em cause to me they're all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em they don't even know my name
They call me the wanderer , yeah I'm a wanderer,
I go around around around around

Well there's Moe on my left and Mary on my right,
And Janie is the girl well that I'll be with tonight,
And when she ask me which one I love the best,
I tear open my shirt and I show Rosie on my chest,
'Cause I'm a wanderer, yeah I'm a wanderer
I roam around around around around hmmm

Well I roam from town to town, I go through life without a care,
And I'm as happy as a clown,
With my two fists of iron, but I'm goin' nowhere.

Yeah I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place I roam from town to town
And when I find myself fallin' for some girl
I hop right in that car of mine, I drive around the world
And I'm a wanderer, yeah I'm a wanderer
I roam around around around around hmmm

SOLO

I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place I roam from town to town
And when I find myself fallin for some girl
I hop right in that car of mine, drive around the world
Cause I'm a wanderer, yeah a wanderer
I roam around around around around

Cause I'm a wanderer, yeah a wanderer
I roam around around around around
