Dr. John - Didn't He Ramble Lyrics
Teacher used to warn him, long, long time agoSon, you're playin a losing game and your you're gonna lose againWhen you play, you've got to pay, and you've got to pay some dayAnd when you do, the groundhogs gonna be shakin' your hand...Didn't he ramble, didn't he rambleRambled all around, in and out of townDidn't he ramble, didn't he rambleHe rambled till the butcher cut him downHis feet was in the market, his head was in the streetLady pass him by, said "look at the market meat"He grabbed her pocket book and said I wish you wellShe pulled out a 32 and said, "I'll see you first in hell!"Didn't he ramble, didn't he rambleRambled all around, in and out of townDidn't he ramble, didn't he rambleHe rambled till the butcher cut him downHe slipped into the cat house, made love to the stableMadam caught him cold, said "I'll pay you when I be able"Six months had passed and she stood all she could standShe said when I'm through with you, "the groundhog gonna shake your hand"And he rambled, didn't he rambleRambled all around, in and out of townDidn't he ramble, didn't he rambleHe rambled till the butcher cut him down
