My rambling 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 around in the rain and snow And here's to you, my rambling boy May all your rambling bring you joy Here's to you, my rambling boy May all your rambling 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 Said my old pal we'd rather bum * Refrain Late one night in a jungle camp The weather it was cold and damp He got the chills and he got 'em bad They took the only friend I had * Refrain He let me here to ramble on My rambling pal is dead and gone If when we die we go somewhere I bet you a dollar he's a rambling there * Refrain
