INTRO
I'm a broken-hearted bachelor, travelin' through this world all alone
I'm a broken-hearted bachelor, travelin' through this world all alone
Uses railroad for my pillow, the jungle is my happy home
This old jungle is so dark, I'll be sleepin' by myself
This old jungle is so dark, I'll be sleepin' by myself
Well, then I believe I'll go, I done found somebody else
Now, it's by me bein' a bachelor, travelin' through this world all alone
Now, it's by me bein' a bachelor, travelin' through this world all alone
Well, you know I got to find, me another home
Now, Lord, this old jungle, cinders blowin' back in my face
Now, Lord, this old jungle, cinders blowin' back in my face
I'm gon' get me a little woman, go find some other place
I decided that I would marry, I believe I'll settle down
I decided that I would marry, I believe I'll settle down
Because it's the life that I'm livin', some day is going to carry me down
