Ramble on Rose

Lyrics By: Robert Hunter Music By: Jerry Garcia

Just like Jack the Ripper Just like Mojo Hand Just like Billy Sunday In a shotgun rag-time band

Just like New York City Just like Jericho Pace the halls and climb the walls And get out when they blow

Did you say your name was Rambling Rose? Ramble on baby, settle down easy Ramble on Rosev

Just like Jack and Jill Mama told the sailor One heat up and one cool down Leave nothing for the tailor

Just like Jack and Jill Papa told the jailer One go up and one come down Do yourself a favor

[Bridge] I'm gonna sing you A hundred verses of 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 the band

Just like Crazy Otto Just like Wolfman Jack Sitting plush with a royal flush Aces back to back

Just like Mary Shelley Just like Frankenstein Clank your chains and count your change And try to walk the line

Goodbye Mama and Papa Goodbye Jack and Jill The grass ain't greener, the wine ain't sweeter Either side of the hill

Ramble on Rose
