Didn’t He Ramble

[Verse 1]

My mother raised three grown sons

Buster, Bill, and me

Buster was the black sheep

Of our little family

Mother tried to break him

Of his rough and rowdy ways

Finally had to get the judge

To give him ninety days

[Chorus]

And didn't he ramble, ramble

He rambled all around, in and out the town

And didn't he ramble, ramble

He rambled till the butchers cut him down

[Verse 2]

He rambled in a gambling game

He gambled on the green

The gamblers there showed him a trick

That he had never seen

He lost his roll and jewelry

He like to lost his life

He lost the car that carried him there

And someone stole his wife

[Chorus]

Didn't he ramble, ramble

He rambled all around, in and out the town

And didn't he ramble, ramble

He rambled till the butchers cut him down

[Verse 3]

He rambled in a swell hotel

His appetite was stout

And when he refused to pay the bill

The landlord threw him out

He looked to smack him with a brick

But when he went to stoop

The landlord kicked him in the pants

And knocked him for a loop

[Chorus]

And didn't he ramble, ramble

He rambled all around, in and out the town

And didn't he ramble, ramble

He rambled till the butchers cut him down

[Verse 4]

He rambled to the racetrack

To make a gallery bet

He backed a horse called Hydrant

And Hydrant's running yet

And when he took his ladder out

To go and paint the town

They had to run get megaphones

To call that rambler down

[Chorus]

And didn't he ramble, ramble

He rambled all around, in and out the town

And didn't he ramble, ramble

He rambled till the butchers cut him down

Oh, he rambled till the butchers cut him down
