I've done a lot of traveling in my time, any place I guess that you could mention,
from Maine to California to Alaska to Europe to Asia.
Done a lot of traveling, but nobody I know,
and I mean nobody, has covered more ground and made more friends and sung more songs than the
fellow you're just about to meet right now.
He's got a song and a friend forever mile behind him.
Say hello to my good buddy, rambling Jack Elliott.

[Ebm] [Ab] [Eb]
[Eb]
I were [Db] a carpenter [Ab] and you were a [Eb] lady, would you marry me [Db] anyway?
[Ab]
Would you have my [Eb] baby?
If a tinker [Db] were my tree, [Ab]
would you feel [Eb] fine
[Db] Carrying the thoughts of me, [Ab] falling close [Eb] behind me
Save my [Db] life from loneliness, save my [Eb] life from sorrow
I've given you [Db] my homeliness, [Ab] please give me your [Eb] tomorrow
If I [Db] were a miller
[Ab] and a mill quill [Eb]
grinder, would you mix [Db] your colored blouse, [Ab] your soft shoes
[Eb] Shining
Save my [Db] life from loneliness, [Ab]
save me from loss of [Eb] sorrow
I've given you my [Db] homeliness, [Ab] please give me your [Eb] tomorrow
[Ab] [Eb]
If I worked [Db] my hands in wood, [Ab] would you [Eb] still love me?
Answer me, babe, yes I would
[Ab] But how could you above [Eb] me?
[Bb] And if I were [Db] much poorer, [Ab] then you'd seem to [Eb] see me
Could you ever [Db] be sure that [Ab] I could really [Eb]
be me?
[Db] Save my life from loneliness, [Ab] save my love [Eb] from sorrow
I've given you [Db] my homeliness, please give me your [Eb] tomorrow
If I [Db] were a carpenter and [Ab] you were a [Eb] lady, would you marry [Db] me anyway?
Would [Ab] you care my [Eb]
baby?
