Ramblin' Round

Woody Guthrie

CRamblin' around your Gcity,
Ramblin' around your Ctown,
I never see a Ffriend I know
As GI go ramblin' 'Cround boys,
As GI go ramblin' 'Cround.

My sweetheart and my parents
I left in my old hometown
I'm out to do the best I can
As I go ramblin' round

{Harmonica}

The peach trees they are loaded,
The limbs are bending down,
I pick 'em all day for a dollar boys,
As I go a ramblin' 'round,
As I go a ramblin' 'round.

Sometimes the fruit gets rotten
And falls down on the ground,
There's a hungry mouth for every peach
As I go a ramblin' 'round boys,
As I go a ramblin' 'round.

I wish that I could marry,
I wished I could settle down,
But I can't save a penny boys,
As I go a ramblin' 'round,
As I go a ramblin' 'round.

My mother prayed that I would be
A man of some renown,
But I am just a refugee,
As I go a ramblin' 'round boys,
As I go a ramblin' 'round.


As usual Woody strums the chords while picking out bass notes, and also doing various hammer-ons, mainly 0h2 on the A-string when playing the C and G chords.
