Roving Woman
CPeople Amsay a Dmroving Gwoman
Cis likely Amnot to be Fbetter than she Gought to be;
Emso, when I sAmtray awDay from where I’ve got to be,
Dmsomeone always Gtakes me Chome.
GA lady never Dshould haGbituate saDloons,
Gand that is where I Amfind myself on mBmany afternAmoons.
GBut just as I beAmgin to Gblow away the Cfoam,
Bmsomeone tips his Bb7hat to me and tDakes me hGome.
CPeople Amsay a Dmroving Gwoman
Cis likely Amnot to be Fbetter than she Gought to be;
Emso, when I sAmtray awDay from where I’ve got to be,
Dmsomeone always Gtakes me Chome.
GNow, poker is a Dgame a Glady shouldn’t Dplay,
Gand every floatin’ Ampoker game just sBmeems to float my wAmay.
GBut long before I’ve Amlost a Gthing besides my Ccomb,
Bmsomeone tips his Bb7hand to me and tDakes me hGome.
CDon’t see Amwhy they Dmalways Gdo it
Ccan’t be Amvanity; Fmust be sheer huGmanity
Emwhen some kind sAmoul remDarks with great urbanity:
Dm'Lady, let me Gtake you Chome.'
GOf course, there’s bound to Dbe some Glittle afterDmath
Gthat makes a pleasant Amending for the sBmtraight and narrow pAmath.
GAnd as I go to Amsleep, I Gcannot help but Cthink
Bmhow glad I am that Bb7I was saved from cDards and dGrink.
CPeople Amsay a Dmroving Gwoman
Cis likely Amnot to be Fbetter than she Gought to be;
Emso, when I sAmtray, there’s pDositively got to be
Dmsomeone there to Gtake me Chome.

Bb7

Roving Woman

C Am Dm G

People say a roving woman

C Am F G

is likely not to be better than she ought to be;

Em Am D

so, when I stray away from where I’ve got to be,

Dm G C

someone always takes me home.

G D G D

A lady never should habituate saloons,

G Am Bm Am

and that is where I find myself on many afternoons.

G Am G C

But just as I begin to blow away the foam,

Bm Bb7 D G

someone tips his hat to me and takes me home.

C Am Dm G

People say a roving woman

C Am F G

is likely not to be better than she ought to be;

Em Am D

so, when I stray away from where I’ve got to be,

Dm G C

someone always takes me home.

G D G D

Now, poker is a game a lady shouldn’t play,

G Am Bm Am

and every floatin’ poker game just seems to float my way.

G Am G C

But long before I’ve lost a thing besides my comb,

Bm Bb7 D G

someone tips his hand to me and takes me home.

C Am Dm G

Don’t see why they always do it

C Am F G

can’t be vanity; must be sheer humanity

Em Am D

when some kind soul remarks with great urbanity:

Dm G C

'Lady, let me take you home.'

G D G D

Of course, there’s bound to be some little aftermath

G Am Bm Am

that makes a pleasant ending for the straight and narrow path.

G Am G C

And as I go to sleep, I cannot help but think

Bm Bb7 D G

how glad I am that I was saved from cards and drink.

C Am Dm G

People say a roving woman

C Am F G

is likely not to be better than she ought to be;

Em Am D

so, when I stray, there’s positively got to be

Dm G C

someone there to take me home.
