Ramblin’ In My Shoes
Recorded by Hank Williams Jr. and Boxcar Willie
Written by Bill Emerson and Vince Emerson

C
Now daddy told me stories 
         F             C
Bout the winos and the freight trains
                 G7           C
That momma never wanted me to know

That I had spent my younger days
F             C
Sleepin' in a boxcar

She was ashamed that I had been a hobo
                       G7                 C
She never wanted me to know that he was a hobo

                          
Now momma was a Christian
        F               C
And she always read the bible
                           G7               C
She told me all the things that I shouldn't do

But you had railroad fever
    F                C
And gamblin' in your fingers
                                       
And a bad case of ramblin' in my shoes
                      G7              C
And a bad bad case of ramblin' in our shoes

     F                                  C
So I caught a southern bound in Detroit City
       F                            C
And we rode it all the way to Baton Rouge
  F                               C
I met up with a man called Boxcar Willie
    D7                               G7
And you got your first taste of hobo stew 
  C            G7             C
I played every song of Jimmie Rodgers

      F                             C
How I loved those old Hank Williams blues 
    F                               C
Now every time I hear that lonesome whistle

We get a bad case of ramblin' in our shoes
                         G7              C
We get a bad bad case of ramblin' in our shoes

        F                                  C
Yeah we caught a southern bound in Detroit City
       F                            C
And we rode it all the way to Baton Rouge
  F                               C
I met up with a man called Boxcar Willie
    D7                               G7
And you got your first taste of hobo stew 
   C            G7             C
We played every song of Jimmie Rodgers

       F                            C
And we sang every one of ole Hank's tunes
    F                               C
Now every time we hear that whistle blowin'

We get a bad case of ramblin' in our shoes
                         G7              C
We get a bad bad case of ramblin' in our shoes
