My Ramblin' Boy

(Tom Paxton - Bill Phillips - Gordon Terry)



So here's to you my ramblin' boy

May all your ramblin' bring you joy.



He was a man and a friend always

He stuck by me in the hard old 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 ramblin' bring you joy

And here's to you my ramblin' boy

May all your ramblin' bring you joy.



In Tulsa town we chanced to straight

We thought we'd try to work one day

The boss said he had a room for one

Said my old pal we'd rather bum.



So here's to you my ramblin' boy

May all your ramblin' bring you joy

And here's to you my ramblin' boy

May all your ramblin' bring you joy.



Then late one night in a jungle camp

The weather it was cold and damp

And he got the chills and he got 'em bad

I lost the only pal I had.



So here's to you my ramblin' boy

May all your ramblin' bring you joy

And here's to you my ramblin' boy

May all your ramblin' bring you joy.



May all your ramblin' bring you joy...
