You know me, It’s what I do

 V1

Dusty Manzanita, Klamath River sands

Looking for some color, kneeling with my pan

Trying to earn a dollar, time to make a stand

Pretty senoritas like gold dust through my hands

Chorus

I should quit this wanderer’s life and find a love that’s true,

But, you know me, it’s what I do.

Yes, you know me, it’s what I do

V2

Standing in the center ring, top hat on my head

Wish that cute blonde flyer was landing in my bed

But her eye is on the catcher and he’d surely shoot me dead

Circus love’s a bitter thing, full of lust and dread.

Chorus

I should quit this wanderer’s life and find a love that’s true,

But, you know me, it’s what I do.

Yes, you know me, it’s what I do

Bridge

If I go no more a roving, then I’ll go no more a loving

For love is sweetest when it is brand new.

If you leave before the dawn then sweet memories linger on

The heart is light that treads the morning dew.

V3

Lord I am blessed tonight, that blonde on the very front pew

Will surely feel my healing hand before this night is through

God called me to a lonely land, so what’s a man to do

Don’t think about what’s right, just what’s warm and soft and new

Chorus

I should quit this wanderer’s life and find a love that’s true,

But, you know me, it’s what I do.

Yes, you know me, it’s what I do

Yes, I should quit this lonely life and find a love that’s true,

But, you know me, it’s what I do.

Yes, you know me, it’s what I do
