Ramblin' around your city,

Ramblin' around your town,

I never see a friend I know
G C
As I go ramblin' 'round boys,
G C
As I go ramblin' 'round.
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.
