Ramblin' Blues |
| Standing down in Portland town one day |
| I Was standing down in Portland town one day |
| Standing down in Portland town one day |
| Hey…, hey…, hey…, hey… |
| I come from Louisiana where the Red Fish in the bay; |
| I come from Louisiana where the Red Fish in the bay; |
| Lord, I come from Louisiana where the Red Fish in the bay; |
| And it’s hey, hey, hey! |
| I said, which a way does Columbia River run? |
| I said which a way does Columbia River run? |
| I says, a which a way does Columbia River run? |
| From the Canadian Rockies to the ocean of the Settin' Sun |
| I walk down the road and I see your Bonneville Dam; |
| I walk down the road and I see your Bonneville Dam; |
| Walk the rocky road and I see your Bonneville Dam; |
| 'lectricity run th' fact’ry makin' planes for Uncel Sam |
| Well how many river have you got in Portland town? |
| I said, How many rivers have you got in Portland town? |
| I said, How many rivers have you got in Portland town? |
| They said, The Columbia River is the river that they all run down |
| Oh, Columbia River, takes 'em all to the ocean blue; |
| That Columbia River, takes 'em all to the ocean blue; |
| That Columbia River, takes 'em all to the ocean blue; |
| Snake, Hood, Willamette, Yakima, and th' Klickitat, too |
| I’m a ramblin' man; |
| and I ramble all the time; |
| I’m a ramblin' man; |
| and I ramble all the time; |
| I’m a ramblin' man; |
| and I ramble all the time; |
| But every good man has got to ramble when it comes his time |
| I’m out of work, ain’t a working, ain’t got a dime; |
| I said, I’m out of work, ain’t a working, ain’t got a dime; |
| Yes, I’m out of work, ain’t a workin', ain’t got a dime; |
| But a hard workin' man gets it down and out some time |
| Well, when I seen that great big Bonneville Dam; |
| It was when I seen that great big Bonneville Dam; |
| Yes, when I seen that great big Bonneville Dam; |
| Well I wish’t I’d a been workin' makin' somethin' for Uncle Sam |
| I had a job last year, but I ain’t had a good job since |
| I had a job last year, but I ain’t had a good job since |
| I had a job last year, but I ain’y had a good job since |
| I’ll get a job along the River just for Uncle Sam’s defense |
| I never took relief, but I need relief right now; |
| I never took relief, but I need relief right now; |
| I never took relief, but I need relief right now; |
| But me an' th' River’s gonna roll roll along somehow |
