ramble

To lead a semi-nomadic existence, traveling from town to town, making a living from odd jobs. To be rootless and transient, calling no one place home. Sung about often in old folk music, which was written from the perspective of humble, working people, many of whom traveled from town to town in search of work during the Gread Depression. Often used, particularly in the work of Woody Gutherie, as a metaphor for life's journey.

"My mother prayed that I would be A man of some renown But I am just a refugee As I go ramblin' round."--Woody Gutherie, "Ramble Round." "Now as through this life I ramble I've seen lots of funny men Some will rob you with a six-gun And some with a fountain pen And as through this life you ramble And through this life you roam You will never see an outlaw Rob a family of their home."--Woody Gutherie, "Ballad of Pretty Boy Floyd."
