G                    D7 
Ramblin' around your city 
D7                    G 
Ramblin' around your town 
G               C   
I never see a friend I know 
   D7              G 
As I go ramblin' 'round boys 
   C    D7         G        
As I go ramblin' 'round 
 
 
G                    D7 
My Sweetheart and my family 
D7                  G 
I left at my old hometown 
G                 C 
I'm out to do the best I can  
   D7              G 
As I go ramblin' 'round boys 
   C    D7         G        
As I go ramblin' 'round 
 
 
G                        D7 
The peach trees they are loaded 
D7                 G 
The limbs are bending down 
G                        C 
I pick 'em all day for a dollar 
   D7                G 
As I go a ramblin' 'round boys 
   C      D7         G 
As I go a ramblin' 'round. 
 
 
G                           D7 
Sometimes the peaches gets rotten 
D7                             G 
And the fruit falls on the ground 
G                          C 
There's a hungry mouth for every peach 
   D7                     G 
That falls down on the ground boys 
      C         D7        G 
That falls down on the ground  
 
 
G                         D7 
Sometimes I wish I could marry 
D7                G 
Marry and settle down 
G                  C 
But I cant save a penny 
   D7                G 
As I go a ramblin' 'round boys 
   C      D7         G 
As I go a ramblin' 'round 
 
 
G                           D7 
My mother prayed that I might be 
D7              G 
A man of some renown 
G              C 
But I'm just a refugee 
   D7                G 
As I go a ramblin' 'round boys 
   C      D7         G       
As I go a ramblin' 'round
