| I left my home when I was younger
|
| Started out to stave off hunger
|
| Git along, git along, git along, ramble on, on, on Tried to steal, tried to gamble
|
| Got in bad in 'er (?), had to ramble
|
| Git along, git along, git along, ramble on, on, on When I feel that chilly wind start blowing
|
| I start out and don’t care where I’m going, going
|
| Start to laugh, live for laughter
|
| I don’t care what happens after
|
| Git along, git along, git along, ramble on, on, on
|
| (instrumental break)
|
| The birds are flying by my door (my door)
|
| They’re worried so, they’re flying low
|
| (they're flying low)
|
| Something bad is bound to happen
|
| It ain’t gonna catch me nappin'
|
| Git along, git along, git along, ramble on The river’s rising on the sand (on the sand)
|
| My woman’s found another man (she has quit you, boy)
|
| It’s time for me to start to wander
|
| Got to get from here to yonder
|
| Git along, git along, git along, ramble on, on, on When I feel that chilly wind start blowing
|
| I start out and don’t care where I’m going, going
|
| Oh, ramble, ramble, ramble, rover, when I die I’m dead all over
|
| Git along, git along, git along, ramble on, on, on |
