By and by, I'm breathin' a lover's sigh
While I'm sittin' on my watch, so I can be on time
I'm singin' love's praises with sugar coated rhyme
By and by, on you I'm castin' my eye
I'm paintin' the town, swingin' my partner around
Well I know, I can depend on, I know who to trust
I'm watchin' the roads, I'm studyin' the dust
I'm paintin' the town, makin' my last go round
Well I'm scufflin' and I'm shufflin' and I'm walkin' on briars
I'm not even aquainted with my own desires
I'm rollin' slow, I'm doin' all I know
I'm tellin' myself I've found true happiness
That I still got a dream that hasn't been repossessed
I'm rollin' slow, goin' where the wild roses grow
