Rake And Rambling Man
By Don Williams
Written by Bob McMill
CI ran into an old friend of mine the other day
G7We hadn't seen each other in quite a Cwhile
CAnd what he had to say hit me pretty hard
G7Cause I think a lot of folks get started this Cway
He said I thought it would be so easy  G7another one night Cstand
She seemed so warm and willing  G7right in the palm of my Chand
Now its three months ago last Wednesday  G7since I woke up in her Cbed
Lord I think I love her  but it G7scares me half to Cdeath
Cause you Fknow I'm a rake and Crambling man
FFree as and eagle Cflies well Flook at me now and Ctell me the Ftruth
CDo I look like a Fdaddy to Cyou 
Oh do I look like a Fdaddy to Cyou
CNow she's feeling sick in the morning
G7She can't get into her Cjeans
I spent my last ten dollars 
G7And bought her a second hand Cring
I start to work next Monday
G7Cause I just can't let her Cdown
I've had me some good times
G7But that's all changing Cnow
Repeat #3  x2

I ran into an old friend of mine the other day

G7 C

We hadn't seen each other in quite a while

And what he had to say hit me pretty hard

G7 C

Cause I think a lot of folks get started this way

G7 C

He said I thought it would be so easy another one night stand

G7 C

She seemed so warm and willing right in the palm of my hand

G7 C

Now its three months ago last Wednesday since I woke up in her bed

G7 C

Lord I think I love her but it scares me half to death

Cause you know I'm a rake and rambling man

F C F C F

Free as and eagle flies well look at me now and tell me the truth

C F C

Do I look like a daddy to you

F C

Oh do I look like a daddy to you

Now she's feeling sick in the morning

She can't get into her jeans

I spent my last ten dollars

And bought her a second hand ring

I start to work next Monday

G7 C

Cause I just can't let her down

I've had me some good times

G7 C

But that's all changing now

Repeat #3 x2
