(oh) Didn't He Ramble

Didn't he ramble; he rambled

Rambled all around in and out of town

Didn't he ramble, didn't 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 I'm head of personnel

Didn't he ramble; I said he rambled

Rambled all around in and out of town

Didn't he ramble, oh, didn't he ramble

He rambled till the butcher shot him down

He slipped into the cat house, nmade love to the stable

Madam caught him cold, said I'll pay you when I be able

Six months had passed and she stood all she could stand

She said, buddy, when I'm through with you

Old groundhog gonna be shakin' yo' hand

And didn't he ramble; he rambled

Rambled all around in and out of town

Oh, didn't 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
