Verse:

I have been a rov -er Since I was a child

No one to love or care for me

Knock'd a -round all o -ver Kind -a grew up wild

My home's where -ev -er I may be

 

Chorus:

I'm just breez -in' a -long with the breeze,

Trail -in' the rails, roam -in' the seas,

Like the bird -ies that sing in the trees,

Pleas -in' to live, liv -in' to please,

The sky is the on -ly roof I have o -ver my head

And when I'm wea -ry Moth -er Na -ture makes me a bed,

I'm just go -in' a -long as I please,

Breez -in' a -long with the breeze. breeze.
