Fare thee well, my ramblin' boy,

may all your rambles bring you joy.

A E A
He was a man and a friend always.

We rambled 'round in the hard, old days.

He never cared if I had no dough.

We rambled 'round in the rain or snow.

[Verse 2]
A E A
Late one night in a jungle camp,
A E A
the weather it was cold and damp.
A D A
He got the chills and he got them bad.
A E A
I lost the only friend I had.
[Chorus]

Fare thee well, my ramblin' boy,

may all your rambles bring you joy.

may all your rambles bring you joy.
[Verse 3]
A E A
He left me here to ramble on.
A E A
My ramblin' pal is dead and gone.
A D A
If, when we die, we go some where,
A E A
I'll bet you a dollar he's a-ramblin' there.
[Chorus]
A D A
Fare thee well, my ramblin' boy,
Em A
may all your rambles bring you joy.
A D A
Yes, Fare thee well, my ramblin' boy,
E A
may all your rambles bring you joy.

May all your rambles bring you joy. [Repeat once and fade]
