[Verse]
         D  D7              G
He was a man and a friend always
              D                       G
He stuck with me through the hard old days
         G          C      G
He never cared if I had no dough
           D   D7                G
We rambled round in the rain and snow
 
 
[Chorus]
              G       C        G
And here's to you, my ramblin' boy
             D  D7              G
May all your ramblin' bring you joy
          G       C        G
Here's to you, my ramblin' boy
             D  D7           | G   | D   | G   |
May all your ramblin bring you joy
 
 
[Verse]
         D  D7               G
In Tulsa town, we chanced to stray
                D               G
we thought we'd try to work one day
              G      C        G
The boss said he had room for one
            D  D7            G
says my old pal, we'd rather bum
 
 
[Chorus]
              G       C        G
And here's to you, my ramblin' boy
             D  D7              G
May all your ramblin' bring you joy
          G       C        G
Here's to you, my ramblin' boy
             D  D7           | G   | D   | G   |
May all your ramblin bring you joy
 
 
[Verse]
         D  D7           G
Late one night in a hobo camp
            D               G
the weather it was cold and damp
           G             C       G
He got the chills and he got 'em bad
              D  D7         G
They took the only friend I had
 
 
[Chorus]
              G       C        G
And here's to you, my ramblin' boy
             D  D7              G
May all your ramblin' bring you joy
          G       C        G
Here's to you, my ramblin' boy
             D  D7           | G   | D   | G   |
May all your ramblin bring you joy
 
 
[Verse]
           D  D7           G
He left me here, to ramble on
           D               G
My ramblin pal is dead and gone
           G       C      G
If when we die, we go somewhere
            D  D7                G
I bet you a dollar, he's ramblin there.
 
 
[Chorus]
              G       C        G
And here's to you, my ramblin' boy
             D  D7              G
May all your ramblin' bring you joy
          G       C        G
Here's to you, my ramblin' boy
             D  D7           | G   | D   | G   |
May all your ramblin bring you joy
