Lyrics
Free an’ easy, that’s my style
Howdy do me, watch me smile
Fare the well me after while
‘Cause I gotta roam
An’ any place I hang my hat is home
Sweet’nin’ water, cherry wine
Thank you kindly, suits me fine
Kansas City, Caroline, that’s my honeycomb
‘Cause any place I hang my hat is home
Birds roostin’ in the tree pick up an’ go,
An’ the goin’ proves that’s how it ought to be
I pick up, too, when the spirit moves me
‘Cross the river, ’round the bend
Howdy stranger, so long friend
There’s a voice in the lonesome win’
That keeps whisperin’, “Roam!”
I’m goin’ where a welcome mat is
No matter where that is
‘Cause any place I hang my hat is home
