Lyrics

Ramblin' around your city
Ramblin' around your town
I never see a friend I know
As I go ramblin' 'round boys
As I go ramblin' 'round

I make the fruit and harvest
And follow them up and down
But I caint save a nickel
As I go ramblin' 'round boys
As I go ramblin' 'round

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

Sometimes the fruit gets rotten
And falls upon 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
So I could settle down
But I caint save a penny
As I go a ramblin' 'round boys
As I go a ramblin' 'round

My mother prayed that I would be
A man of some renown
But I'm just a railroad bum
As I go a ramblin' 'round boys
As I go a ramblin' 'round

My sister and my brother
Would both be mighty proud
If I could get a job of work
And quit this ramblin' 'round boys
And quit this ramblin' 'round
