He was a man and a friend always
He stuck with me in my 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 ramblin' boy
May all your ramblin' bring you joy
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, we'd rather bum
And here's to you my ramblin' boy
May all your ramblin' bring you joy
Here's to you my ramblin' boy
May all your ramblin' bring you joy
Late one night in a jungle camp
The weather it was cold and damp
He got the chills and he got them bad
They took the only friend I had
And here's to you my ramblin' boy
May all your ramblin' bring you joy
Here's to you my ramblin' boy
May all your ramblin' bring you joy
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
And here's to you my ramblin' boy
May all your ramblin' bring you joy
Here's to you my ramblin' boy
May all your ramblin' bring you joy
