^D Folks in Nashville ^A slammed the door said
We don't want you an ^D ymore
Find your own way ^A down the ^D road
^D Pack your fiddle ^A and your guitar
Take a train or ^D take a car
^D Find someone else to keep you ^A from the ^D cold
Rollin and ^G ramblin women loved him ^D half to death
^D Sang with whiskey ^A on his breath
His heart broke like a ^D child ^D7
Rollin and ^G ramblin
The sun had set out ^D on the trail
Hobos drifted u ^A p the rails he's taken his last r ^D ide ^{A D
D} Oh, he always ^A sang the blues like it was all he ^D ever knew
He didn't sing at a ^A ll at ^D night
He was pale and ^A as he dozed
He didn't know his ^D time had closed
^D Slumped in the back seat ^A to the ^D right
Rollin and ^G ramblin women loved him ^D half to death
^D Sang with whiskey ^A on his breath
His heart broke like a ^D child ^D7
Rollin and ^G ramblin
The sun had set out ^D on the trail
Hobos drifted u ^A p the rails he's taken his last r ^D ide ^{A D}
SOLO
^D So they sent him on a ^A night train south
In the cities and the ^D rural routes
Just one more ^A place to ^D go
Ah the whistles sang the ^A bluest note
like it came from his ^D own throat
^D Moaning sad and ^A cryin l ^D ow
Rollin and ^G ramblin women loved him ^D half to death
^D Sang with whiskey ^A on his breath
His heart broke like a ^D child ^D7
Rollin and ^G ramblin
The sun had set out ^D on the trail
Hobos drifted u ^A p the rails he's taken his last r ^D ide
