Strum
D-DU-UDU
He  was a man  and a friend  always
 He stuck with me  through 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 ramblin'  boy
 May all your ramblin'  bring  you joy.
 And  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 says had room for one
 says my old pal, we'd rather bum.
 REPEAT CHORUS:
 Late one night in a hobo camp
 the weather it was cold and damp
 He got the chills and he got 'em bad.
 They took the only freind I had
 REPEAT CHORUS:
 He left me here, to ramble on
 My old pal is dead and gone
 If when we die, we go somewhere
 I bet you a dollar, he's ramblin there.
 REPEAT CHORUS:

In Tulsa town, we chanced to stray

we thought we'd try to work one day

The boss says had room for one

says my old pal, we'd rather bum.

REPEAT CHORUS:

Late one night in a hobo camp

the weather it was cold and damp

He got the chills and he got 'em bad.

They took the only freind I had

REPEAT CHORUS:

He left me here, to ramble on

My old pal is dead and gone

If when we die, we go somewhere

I bet you a dollar, he's ramblin there.

REPEAT CHORUS:
