These performances commonly change to a different key at the end of verse 1 or verse 2, usually ramping up by a semitone. This makes it difficult to play along with the complete youTube performance using a double-row A-D or G-C accordion. What is available may help you get a feel for the melody and tempo.

Verse 1: Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why you ramble, no one knows Wild and wind-blown, that's how you've grown Who can cling to a ramblin' rose? Verse 2: Ramble on, ramble on When your ramblin' days are gone Who will love you with a love true When your ramblin' days are through? Verse 3: Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose Why I want you, heaven knows Though I love you with a love true Who can cling to a ramblin' rose? |
