Ramblin' Boy Lyrics

Tom Paxton Ramblin' Boy

He was a man and a friend always
He stuck with me in the hard old days
He never cared if I had no dough
We rambled 'round in the rain and snow

[Chorus]
And 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 stray
We thought we'd try to work one day
The boss said he had room for one
Says my old pal,'Then we'd rather bum!'

[Chorus]

Late one night in a hobo camp
The weather it was cold and damp
He got the chills and he got 'em bad
And they took the only friend I had

[Chorus]

He left me here, to ramble on
My ramblin' pal, is dead and gone
If when we die, we go somewhere
I'll bet you a dollar, he's ramblin' there

[Chorus]
