Dean Martin - Meanderin' lyrics

One day I went meanderin' to
Find myself a wife
A pretty miss to share my kiss
And love me all my life
The lonely bachelor's life I led
Began to get me down
I bought a ring and everything
And went right into town

I went (meanderin', meanderin'
Looking far and wide for a
Girl to be my bride
I went meanderin', meanderin')
Far from the old folks at home

I ran into a friend of mine
While wandering down the street
He said he had a sister that I ought to meet
He took me home to meet her
But she weighed two hundred ten

I shook my head and sadly said
"oh here I go again"
I went (meanderin', meanderin'
Looking far and wide for a
Girl to be my bride
I went meanderin', meanderin')
Far from the old folks at home

I came across a pretty girl who
Said she'd love me so
But she would bring her mother
With us everywhere we'd go
I was so happy on the day
She said she'd be my wife
But when she told me her ma
Would live with us for life

I went (meanderin', meanderin'
Looking far and wide for a
Girl to be my bride
I went meanderin', meanderin')
Far from the old folks at home

Finally found myself a wife a
Gal who's sweet and true
And when I'm tempted to do
Something I shouldn't do
Then I remember days when things are
Not like they are now
Well I recall when I was
Just a bachelor and how

I went meanderin', meanderin'
For looking far and wide for a
Girl to be my bride
I went meanderin', oh meanderin'
Far from the old folks at home
