Ramblin' Boy

midi file

He was a pal and a friend always,
We rambled 'round in the hard ol' days;
He never cared if I had no dough,
We rambled 'round in the rain and snow.

So here's to you my ramblin' boy,
May all your rambles bring you joy;
So here's to you my ramblin' boy,
May all your rambles bring you joy.

In Tulsa town we chanced to stray,
We thought we'd try to work one day;
The boss says he had room for one,
Says my old pal, "We'd rather bum."

So here's to you my ramblin' boy,
May all your rambles bring you joy;
So here's to you my ramblin' boy,
May all your rambles bring you joy.

Late one night in a jungle camp,
The weather was cold and it was damp;
He got the chills and he got them bad,
They took the only friend I ever had.

So here's to you my ramblin' boy,
May all your rambles bring you joy;
So here's to you my ramblin' boy,
May all your rambles bring you joy.

He left me here to ramble on,
My ramblin' pal is dead and gone;
If when we die we go somewhere,
I'll bet you a dollar he's ramblin' there.

So here's to you my ramblin' boy,
May all your rambles bring you joy;
So here's to you my ramblin' boy,
May all your rambles bring you joy.
