Balling The Jack (Larry W. Jones 09/09/2010) (song#6190)

Roaming, roaming, roaming
Balling the jack and roaming, roaming everywhere

My Daddy was an engineer, we lived by a railroad track
My Mama shed many a tear, I live by balling the jack
And it looks like I’ll be forever roaming
Balling the jack and roaming, roaming everywhere

Well now, I’ve done a lot of roaming wherever tracks are laid
As far north as Wyoming and as south as the Everglades
And it looks like I’ll be forever roaming
Balling the jack and roaming, roaming everywhere

Well, I’ve worked along the railroads and even a prison farm
Folks say I’ve got muscle for a brain like muscles on my arms
Now, I take that as a complement with no harmful intent
I’ll keep on balling the jack cause roaming has a certain charm

(instrumental)

Well, I’ve worked along the railroads and even a prison farm
Folks say I’ve got muscle for a brain like muscles on my arms

Well now, I’ve done a lot of roaming wherever tracks are laid
As far north as Wyoming and as south as the Everglades
And it looks like I’ll be forever roaming
Balling the jack and roaming, roaming everywhere
