You won't see me prowl no mo' Someday I ain't gon' be no prowlin' man I said, someday I won't be no prowlin' man I said I ain't gon' be mischievious Ain't gonna be too hard to understand 'Play it, play it, boy' (harmonica & guitar) 'You know you've been trav'lin' like I have' 'Play that thing, boy' Now, I've been ramblin' an prowlin' Ever since I was twelve years old I have been ramblin' an prowlin' Ever since I was twelve years old An I wouldn't stop ramblin' For my weight in gold But someday I ain't gon' prowl no mo' Yes, someday I ain't gon' prowl no mo' But you know right now I haven't got no place to go. ~
