Stuck with me through the hard old days
He never cared if I had no dough
He'd ramble around through
He'd toss a towel every chance to stray
He thought we'd try to work one day
The boss said he had room for one
Said, my old pal, we'd rather bum
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 took the chills and he got them back
I lost the only pal I've had
He's left me here to ramble on
My old pal, he's dead and gone
And when we die, we go somewhere,
I'll bet you a dollar he's a
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.
