Ramblin' Boy<br>

<br>

(Tom Paxton)<br>

<br>

He was a man and a friend always<br>

He stuck with me in the hard old days.<br>

He never cared if I had no dough,<br>

We rambled round in the rain and snow.<br>

<br>

And here’s to you, my ramblin’ boy,<br>

May all your ramblin’ bring you joy.<br>

Here’s to you, my ramblin’ boy,<br>

May all your ramblin’ bring you joy.<br>

<br>

In Tulsa town, we chanced to stray.<br>

We thought that we, we might work one day.<br>

The boss said he had room for one,<br>

Said my old pal, “We’d rather bum”.<br>

<br>

And here’s to you, my ramblin’ boy,<br>

May all your ramblin’ bring you joy.<br>

Here’s to you, my ramblin’ boy,<br>

May all your ramblin’ bring you joy.<br>

<br>

Then late one night in a jungle camp<br>

The weather it, it was cold and damp.<br>

He got the chills, he got ’em bad,<br>

I lost the only friend I had.<br>

<br>

And here’s to you, my ramblin’ boy,<br>

May all your ramblin’ bring you joy.<br>

Here’s to you, my ramblin’ boy,<br>

May all your ramblin’ bring you joy.<br>

<br>

My ramblin’ pal has rambled on,<br>

My ramblin’ boy, he’s dead and gone.<br>

If when we die, we go somewhere,<br>

I’ll bet you a dollar he’s ramblin’ there.<br>

<br>

And here’s to you, my ramblin’ boy,<br>

May all your ramblin’ bring you joy.<br>

Here’s to you, my ramblin’ boy,<br>

May all your ramblin’ bring you joy.<br>

May all your ramblin’ bring you joy.<br>

<br>
