Didn’t He Ramble

[Verse 1]
My mother raised three grown sons
Buster, Bill, and me
Buster was the black sheep
Of our little family
Mother tried to break him
Of his rough and rowdy ways
Finally had to get the judge
To give him ninety days

[Chorus]
And didn't he ramble, ramble
He rambled all around, in and out the town
And didn't he ramble, ramble
He rambled till the butchers cut him down

[Verse 2]
He rambled in a gambling game
He gambled on the green
The gamblers there showed him a trick
That he had never seen
He lost his roll and jewelry
He like to lost his life
He lost the car that carried him there
And someone stole his wife

[Chorus]
Didn't he ramble, ramble
He rambled all around, in and out the town
And didn't he ramble, ramble
He rambled till the butchers cut him down

[Verse 3]
He rambled in a swell hotel
His appetite was stout
And when he refused to pay the bill
The landlord threw him out
He looked to smack him with a brick
But when he went to stoop
The landlord kicked him in the pants
And knocked him for a loop

[Chorus]
And didn't he ramble, ramble
He rambled all around, in and out the town
And didn't he ramble, ramble
He rambled till the butchers cut him down

[Verse 4]
He rambled to the racetrack
To make a gallery bet
He backed a horse called Hydrant
And Hydrant's running yet
And when he took his ladder out
To go and paint the town
They had to run get megaphones
To call that rambler down

[Chorus]
And didn't he ramble, ramble
He rambled all around, in and out the town
And didn't he ramble, ramble
He rambled till the butchers cut him down

Oh, he rambled till the butchers cut him down
