Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Fol[C]ks in Nashville slamme[G]d the door
Said, "We don't want you [C]anymore
Find your own way [G]down the [C]road
Pack your fiddle and [G]your guitar
Take a train or [C]take a car
Find someone else to keep
you [G]from the [C]cold"

[Verse 2]
Rollin' and [F]ramblin'
Women loved him [C]half to death
He sang with whiskey [G]on his breath
His heart broke like [C]a child's
Rollin' and [F]ramblin'
The sun has set out [C]on the trail
The hobo's drifted [G]up the rail
He's taken his last [C]ride

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 3]
Oh, he always [G]sang the blues
Like it was all he [C]ever knew
He didn't sing at [G]all that [C]night
He was pale an[G]d as he dozed
He didn't know his [C]time had closed
Slumped in the back seat [G]to the [C]right

[Verse 4]
Rollin' and [F]ramblin'
Women loved him [C]half to death
He sang with whiskey [G]on his breath
His heart broke like [C]a child's
Rollin' and [F]ramblin'
The sun has set out [C]on the trail
The hobo's drifted [G]up the rail
He's taken his last [C]ride

[Interlude 2]
[C][F][C][G][C]

[Verse 5]
So they send him on [G]night train, South
Through the cities and the [C]rural routes
Just one more [G]place to [C]go
Ah, the whistle sang the [G]bluest note
Like it came from [C]his own throat
Moanin' sad and [G]cryin' [C]low

[Verse 6]
Rollin' and [F]ramblin'
Women loved him [C]half to death
He sang with whiskey [G]on his breath
His heart broke like [C]a child's
Rollin' and [F]ramblin'
The sun has set out [C]on the trail
Hobo's drifted [G]up the rail
He's taken his last [C]ride

[Verse 7]
Rollin' and [F]ramblin'
The sun has set out [C]on the trail
Hobo's drifted [G]up the rail
He's taken his last [C]ride
[G]

[Verse 8]
[G]Oh, [C]oh
[G]Oh- oh- oh
[C]Oh, oh
