Didnt he ramble.... he rambled
Rambled all around.... in and out of town
Didnt he ramble....didnt he ramble
He rambled till the butcher cut him down
His feet was in the market place..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 forty-five..said Im head of personnel
Didnt he ramble...i said he rambled
Rambled all around...in and out of town
Didnt he ramble...oh didnt he ramble
He rambled till the butcher shot him down
(instrumental break)
He slipped into the cat house..made love to the stable
Madam caught him cold..said Ill pay you when I be able
Six months had passed ..and she stood all she could stand
She said buddy when Im through with you
Ole groundhog gonna be shakin yo hand
And didnt he ramble...he rambled
Rambled all around...in and out of town
Oh didnt he ramble......he rambled
You know he rambled...till the butcher...cut him down
I said he rambled..lord...till the butcher shot him down
