I Am a Jack of all Trades and round the World I rove, And here, I get a Bantling, and there I get a Love, And a rambling I will go, will go, will go, And a Ramb'ling I will go. I tye a Ladies Garter as well as any Page, And riddle to her Woman, and tell the Butlers Age. And a roving I will go, etc. I can expound their Dreams too as well as any Quack, Come hither pretty Virgins, and tell me what d' ye lack? For a Rambling I will go, etc.
Sometimes I am a Tapster, sometimes I cry Small-cole, Sometimes I am a Tinker, and aim to stop a Hole, And a rowling I will go, etc. Sometimes I am a Lackey, (As Lazy as my Leg) Sometimes I am a Joyner and have for Jone a Peg, And a rambling I will go. Sometimes I am a Vintner, and have you in my Bush; Sometimes I am a Pedlar, come will ye buy a Brush? For a Rambling I will go, will go, will go, For a Rambling I will go.
Sometimes I sell Save-alls, sometimes I cry fine Socks, For Maids I have a Mouse Trap, for men a Tinder-box. And a rambling I will go. Sometimes I cry Poor-Jack, for lusty bonny Blades, Then two a penny Laces, and Pins for precious Maids, And a rambling I will go. Who buys a Table Basket? who buys such things as those? Have Maids got any Cuny-Skins or Corns upon their Toes. For a rambling I will go, etc. Have yea any Gloves to mend here? or colour (pray now tell) For ye, (my little Dories) I'le do 'em rarely well. And a Rambling I will go, Come will yea Turn the blea sir? or buy a singing-Bird? If you don't like this Song Sir, I do not care a T_______ And a rambling we will go.
Come will ye buy my Flounder? my Gudgin, or my Roach?

For a Rambling I will go. Come two a penny Brooms Maids, green Brooms for to sweep your house They'l keep all clean & cleanly, And will not leave a Louse, For a rambling I will go. Or will ye buy a Mop, Maid? or see O rare shite? If none of these will please ye, 'tis time to bid good Night. And a roving I will go, will go, will go, And a Roving I will go.
