Ramblin' lyrics

1.What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Con-cerning a great speckled bird
Remember her name is re-corded
On the pages of God's Holy Word.

2. All the other birds are flocking 'round her
And she is despised by the squad
But the great speckled bird in the Bible
Is one with the great church of God.

3. All the other churches are against her
They envy her glory and fame

When I was young, my mama told me
She said child, take your time
Don't fall in love too quickly before you know your mind
She held me round the shoulders
In a voice so soft and kind
She said love can make you happy and love can rob you blind

CHORUS
Here in California
Fruit hangs heavy on the vine
There's no gold-I thought I'd warn ya
and the hills turn brown in the summertime

good-bye joe me gotta go me oh myo

me gotta pole the beruea down the bayou

my yvonne sweetest one me oh myo

son of a gun we're gonna have big fun on the bayou
(chours)

jambalaya crawfish pie filet gumbo

cause tonight i'm gonna see my cher-mio

pick guitar fill friut jar and be gay-o

son of a gun we're gonna have big fun on the bayou

fondaonknow,thiloboxa, the place is buzzin

Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead

Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead

Wanderin' round from door to door

They don't have no place to go
Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead

Some people say your sister will do when your mother's dead

Some people say your sister will do when your mother's dead

I got ramblin’, I got ramblin’ on my mind

Little boy, little boy, I got ramblin’ on my mind

I hate to leave you, baby, but you treat me so unkind

I got mean things, I got mean things on my mind

I got mean things, I got mean things on my mind

I hate to leave you, baby, but you treat me so unkind

How many times
Have you heard someone say
If I had his money
I'd do things my way
How little they know
That it's so hard to find
One rich man in a hundred
With a satisfied mind

Once I was living
In fortune and fame
And everthing I could dream of
To get a start in life's game
And suddenly it happened
I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far
With a satisfied mind

I can't keep walkin' down the street

'Fore some pretty daddy start breakin' down with me

Stop breakin' down

Please, please, stop breakin' down
I got the stuff that'll bust your brains out, baby

Make you lose your mind

These no good men love to ape and clown

They don't do nothin' but tear my good reputation down

Stop breakin' down

Please, please, stop breakin' down

Won't you be my chauffeur
Won't you be my chauffeur
I wants him to drive me
I wants him to drive me downtown
Yes he drives so easy I can't turn him down

But I don't want him
But I don't want him
To be ridin' his girls
To be ridin' his girls around
So I'm gonna steal me a pistol, shoot my chauffeur down

Well I must buy him
Well I must buy him
A brand new V8
A brand new V8 Ford

I keep drinkin' malted milk1, try'n to drive my blues away
I keep drinkin' malted milk, try'n to drive my blues away
Baby, you just as welcome to my lovin', as the flowers is in May

Malted milk, malted milk, keep rushin' to my head
Malted milk, malted milk, keep rushin' to my head
And I have a funny, funny feelin', and I'm talkin' all out my head

I was down in Savannah
Eatn' Cream and Bannanas
When the heat just made me faint
I began to get crosseyed
I thought I was lost
I'd begun to see things as they ain't.
As the relatives gathered to see what's the matter
The doctor came to see was I fine.
But the doctor said give him jug band music,
It seems to make him feel just fine.

I was told a little tail about a skinny as a rail

[Chorus:]
My little darling, oh how, I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling, pal of mine

[Chorus]

Many a day, with you I've rambled
Happiest hours, with you I've spent
Thought I had your heart forever
Now I find it's only lent

[Chorus]

Many a night, while you lay sleeping
Dreaming of your amber skies

Honey, make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Honey, make it down, make it soft and low
Then maybe my good gal she won't know

I'm goin' up the country through the sleedin' snow
Goin' up the country through the sleedin' snow
I'm goin' up the country through the sleedin' snow
Ain't no telling just how fur I'll go
