C majorC
Now daddy told me stories
FF C majorC
Bout the whinos and the frieght trains
That momma never wanted me to know
That I had spent my younger days
FF C majorC
Sleepin' in a box car
She was ashamed that I had been a hobo
G+G C majorC
She never wanted me to know that he was a hobo
C majorC
Now momma was a christian
FF C majorC
And she always read the bible
She told me all the things that I shouldn't do
But you had railroad fever
FF C majorC
And gamblin' in your fingers
C majorC
And a bad case of ramblin' in my shoes
G+G C majorC
And a bad, bad case of ramblin' in our shoes
FF C majorC
So I caught a southern bound in Detroit City
FF C majorC
And we rode it all the way to Baton Rouge
FF C majorC
I met up with a man called Boxcar Willie
D MajorD G+G G7G7
And you got your first taste of hobo stew
C majorC G+G C majorC
I played every song of Jimmie Rodgers
FF C majorC
How I loved those old Hank Williams blues
FF C majorC
Now every time I hear that lonesome whistle
We get a bad case of ramblin' in our shoes

We get a bad bad case of ramblin' in our shoes
