So here's to you my ramblin' boy may all your ramblin' bring you joy. He was a man and a friend always he stuck by me in the hard old days. He never cared if I had no dough we rambled round in the rain and snow.
Some ladies are foolish. Some ladies are gay. Some ladies are comely. Some live while they may. . My lady's a wild flying dove. My lady is wine. She whispers each evening.
He was a man and a friend always. We rambled on in the bad old days.. He never cared if I had no dough,. He stuck with me in the rain and snow.. . [Chorus].
He was a man and a friend always he stuck with me in the hard old days. He never cared if I had no dough we rambled round in the rain and snow. And here's to you my ramblin' boy may all your ramblin' bring you joy.
Fare thee well, my ramblin' boy. May all your rambles bring you joy. Yes, fare thee well, my ramblin' boy. May all your rambles bring you joy. . He was a man and a friend always.
