(Tom Paxton)
Chorus:
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 was a man and a friend always
He stuck with me in the bad old days
We never cared that we had no dough
We rambled round in the rain and snow
Late one night in a lonely camp
The weather it was cold and damp
He got the chills and he got them bad
I lost the only friend I had
My ramblin' friend is dead and gone
He left me here to ramble on
If when we die we go somewhere
I'll bet you a dollar he's ramblin' there
(as sung by Iain Mackintosh)
