Ramblin’ RoseJerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Fred Burch Marijohn Wilkin

Producer: Shelby Singleton Jr.

Everyone knows she's a ramblin' rose
She's a beauty growin' wild!
Birds in their nest seem to whistle their best
For mother nature's favourite child!

She's got the kind of affection
That just winds around your heart!
You better run for protection
Or she might upset your flower cart!

I hate to disclose that ma ramblin' rose
Is gonna meet her Waterloo!
I let her play but she can't get away
'Cause I know just what to do!

Anyone knows you can train a rose
To be a clingin' vine!
So, from this day hence, there'll be a picket fence
'Round that ramblin' rose of mine!

Now, everyone knows she's a ramblin' rose
She's a beauty growin' wild!
Birds in their nest seem to whistle their best
For mamma nature's favorite child!

She's got the kind of affection
That just winds around your heart!
You'd better run for protection
Or she might upset your flower cart!

I hate to disclose that ma ramblin' rose
Is gonna meet her Waterloo!
I let her play but she can't get away
'Cause I know just what to do!

Anyone knows you can train a rose
To be a clingin' vine!
So, from this day hence, there'll be a picket fence
'Round that ramblin' rose of mine!

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
