Ramblin' Boy

(album: Mr. Mel - 1967)

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

And here's to you, my rambling boy
May all your rambling bring you joy
And here's to you, my rambling boy
May all your rambling 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

And here's to you, my rambling boy
May all your rambling bring you joy
And here's to you, my rambling boy
May all your rambling bring you joy

Then late one night in a jungle camp the weather it was cold and damp
And he got the chills and got them bad they took the only friend I had

And here's to you, my rambling boy
May all your rambling bring you joy
And here's to you, my rambling boy
May all your rambling bring you joy
May all your rambling bring you joy
