Well my daddy was a hard working man

And he rambled from town to town

I'm going to be a ramblin' boy

Ain't never gonna settle down

Beefsteaks when I'm hungry

Something tall and cool when I'm dry

Give me greenbacks when the times are hard

Sweet heaven when I die

Well they locked me in the jail house

And my friends all passed me by

Nobody came 'round to see 'bout me

And I can't help but wonder why

Beefsteaks when I'm hungry

Something tall and cool when I'm dry

Give me greenbacks when the times are hard

Sweet heaven when I die, take it

Honey hold me when I'm sad and blue

Honey cheer me if I cry

All I really wanted [Incomprehensible]

To love me till the day I die

Yeah beefsteaks when I'm hungry

Something tall and cool when I'm dry

Give me greenbacks when the times are hard

Sweet heaven when I die

Yeah beefsteaks when I'm hungry

Something tall and cool when I'm dry

Give me greenbacks when the times are hard

Sweet heaven when I die
