Don't Tell Me My Mind

I'll ramble far and wide

But who knows where I'll be,

Walking down some rocky road,

Or sailing 'cross the sea?

I have no true love,

No girl to leave behind.

It's my life and I like it,

Don't tell me my mind.

Chorus:

Don't tell me my mind,

Don't tell me that I'm wrong.

Let this song be remembered

When I'm dead and gone.

Don't tell me my mind,

Don't tell me that I'm wrong.

Let this song be remembered when I'm gone.

I'll go and see this world of ours

And all its people too,

From China to America

Across the oceans blue.

I'll sing about my travels,

Good times I'll surely find.

It's my life and I like it,

Don't tell me my mind.

Chorus

You say I'm kind of foot-loose,

I'll never settle down.

But I don't want to hang around

In this old one horse town.

I've got so many things to do

And oh, so little time.

It's my life and I like it,

Don't tell me my mind.

Chorus
