Didn't He Ramble |
| INTRO: |
| Teacher used to warn him, long, long time ago |
| Son, you’re playin a losing game and your you’re gonna lose again |
| When you play, you’ve got to pay, and you’ve got to pay some day |
| And when you do, the groundhogs gonna be shakin' your hand … |
| VERSE: |
| Didn’t he ramble, didn’t he ramble |
| Rambled all around, in and out of town |
| Didn’t he ramble, didn’t he ramble |
| He rambled till the butcher cut him down |
| A SECTION: |
| His feet was in the market, his head was in the street |
| Lady pass him by, said «look at the market meat» |
| He grabbed her pocket book and said I wish you well |
| She pulled out a 32 and said, «I'll see you first in hell!» |
| VERSE: |
| Didn’t he ramble, didn’t he ramble |
| Rambled all around, in and out of town |
| Didn’t he ramble, didn’t he ramble |
| He rambled till the butcher cut him down |
| A SECTION: |
| He slipped into the cat house, made love to the stable |
| Madam caught him cold, said «I'll pay you when I be able» |
| Six months had passed and she stood all she could stand |
| She said when I’m through with you, «the groundhog gonna shake your hand» |
| VERSE: |
| And he rambled, didn’t he ramble |
| Rambled all around, in and out of town |
| Didn’t he ramble, didn’t he ramble |
| He rambled till the butcher cut him down |
