He was a pal and a friend always We rambled round in the hard ol' 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 rambles bring you joy Here's to you my ramblin' boy May all your rambles bring you joy In Tulsa town we chanced to stray We thought we'd try to work one day The boss says he had room for one Says my old pal, "We'd rather bum" And here's to you my ramblin' boy May all your rambles bring you joy Here's to you my ramblin' boy May all your rambles bring you joy Late one night in a jungle camp The weather was cold and it was damp He got the chills, and he got them bad They took the only friend I ever had And here's to you my ramblin' boy May all your rambles bring you joy Here's to you my ramblin' boy May all your rambles 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 rambles bring you joy Here's to you my ramblin' boy May all your rambles bring you joy
