G D D7 G
He was a man and a friend always
D G
He stuck with me through the hard old days
C
He never cared if I had no dough
D D7 G
We rambled round in the rain and snow.
CHORUS:
D G C G
And here's to you, my ramblin' boy
D D7 G
May all your ramblin' bring you joy.
D G C G
And here's to you, my ramblin' boy
D D7 G
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
In Tulsa town, we chanced to stray
we thought we'd try to work one day
The boss says had room for one
says my old pal, we'd rather bum.
REPEAT CHORUS:
Late one night in a hobo camp
the weather it was cold and damp
He got the chills and he got 'em bad.
They took the only freind I had
REPEAT CHORUS:
He left me here, to ramble on
My old pal is dead and gone
If when we die, we go somewhere
I bet you a dollar, he's ramblin there.
REPEAT CHORUS:
