Git Along

I left my home when I was younger
Started out to stave off hunger
Git along, git along, git along, ramble on, on, on

Tried to steal, tried to gamble
Got in bad in 'er (?), had to ramble
Git along, git along, git along, ramble on, on, on

When I feel that chilly wind start blowing
I start out and don't care where I'm going, going
Start to laugh, live for laughter
I don't care what happens after

Git along, git along, git along, ramble on, on, on

(instrumental break)

The birds are flying by my door (my door)
They're worried so, they're flying low
(they're flying low)
Something bad is bound to happen
It ain't gonna catch me nappin'
Git along, git along, git along, ramble on

The river's rising on the sand (on the sand)
My woman's found another man (she has quit you, boy)
It's time for me to start to wander
Got to get from here to yonder
Git along, git along, git along, ramble on, on, on

When I feel that chilly wind start blowing
I start out and don't care where I'm going, going
Oh, ramble, ramble, ramble, rover, when I die I'm dead all over
Git along, git along, git along, ramble on, on, on
