i am a poor and a ramblin' boy - the journeymen lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
(thank you, thank you
thank you)

[verse 1]
i am a poor and a ramblin’ boy
many a city i have been
in cumberland city i’ve made my way
just to spend my money on the b*lls and play (play it, boy)

[verse 2]
in cumberland city i married me wife
well, i loved her better than i did my life
she treated me kind both night and day
and she caused me to rob on this highway

[verse 3]
well, my pretty little gal seventeen years old
hair just as yellow as the shinin’ gold
the prettiest face and the neatest hands
god bless the ground on where she stands

[banjo solo]

[verse 4]
so, give me the ticket to greenville town
get on the train, and it’s i’ll sit down
the whistle will blow, and the engine will roll
it will take me six months to get back home
[verse 5]
come young and old and stand around
see me laid in this cold ground
i’m not ashamed or afraid to die
but i hope i’ll meet you by and by

[outro]
i’m not ashamed or afraid to die
but i hope i’ll meet you by and by

(thank you
thank you very much
thank you)
