(oh)didn't He Ramble

Louis Armstrong · Other Songs - Louis Armstrong

Didn't he ramble.... he rambled



Rambled all around.... in and out of town



Didn't he ramble....didn't he ramble



He rambled till the butcher cut him down



His feet was in the market place..his head was in the street



Lady pass him by, said..look at the market meat



He grabbed her pocket book..and said I wish you well



She pulled out a forty-five..said I'm head of personnel



Didn't he ramble...I said he rambled



Rambled all around...in and out of town



Didn't he ramble...oh didn't he ramble



He rambled till the butcher shot him down



(instrumental break)



He slipped into the cat house..made love to the stable



Madam caught him cold..said I'll pay you when I be able



Six months had passed ..and she stood all she could stand



She said buddy when I'm through with you



Ole groundhog gonna be shakin yo' hand



And didn't he ramble...he rambled



Rambled all around...in and out of town



Oh didn't he ramble......he rambled



You know he rambled...till the butcher...cut him down



I said he rambled..lord...'till the butcher shot him down
