I got an old slouch hat,
Got my roll on my shoulder
I'm as free as the breeze
And I’ll do as I please,
Just a bummin' around . . .

I got a million friends,
Don't feel  any older
I’ve  got nothing to lose
Not even the blues,
Just a bummin' around . . .

Whenever troubles start
To botherin' me 
I grab my coat, 
My old slouch hat,
Hit the trail again, you see . . .

I ain't got a dime,
I don't know where I'm goin'
I’ve  got nothing to lose
Not even the blues,
Just a bummin' around!

[ instrumental  break ]

I'm as free as a breeze
And do as I please,
Just a bummin' around. . .
Just a bummin' around . . . 
Just a bummin' around . . .
