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