[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
As I [D] go a-walkin' down Birmingham [A] _ Street In [Bm] my new [D] scarlet jacket all neat and [A] complete
_ The [Bm] _ girls all say as they pass [F#] me by _ [Bm] Is that the young man they [C#m] call [F#m] Ramble [Bm] Away _ _ _ _ _ _
As I [D] was a-walkin' to Birmingham [A] Fair _ I [Bm] saw [D] lovely Nancy a-curlin' [A] her hair
_ [Bm] I tipped her the wink and she rolled [F#] her dark eye And [Bm] said I to myself [A] I'll be there [Bm] by and _ by
_ _ _ _ As I was [D] a-walkin' that night [A] in the _ dark [B] I took [D] lovely Nancy to be [A] my sweetheart _ _
[Bm] She smiled in my face and to me [F#] she did say _ [Bm] Aren't you the young man they [C#m] call [Bm] Ramble Away
[D] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
I said [D] my dear Nancy don't smile in [A] my _ face [Bm] For I do not [D] intend to stay long in [A] this _ place
_ [Bm] Then where are you going come tell me [F#] my dear _ [Bm] I told her I'd [C#m] ramble the devil [Bm] knows where _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Before twelve weeks was [A] over and _ past [B] This pretty [D] young Nancy she grew sick [A] at last
_ [Bm] Her dress wouldn't pin [F#] or her apron strings tie _ _ [Bm] And she longed for the sight [C#] of young Ramble [Bm] Away _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ My dad and [D] my mother have both [A] gone from home _ [Bm] But when [D] they return I won't sit [A] down and mourn _
[Bm] I'll tell them the story and leave [F#] them to say _ Well [Bm] no doubt she's been playin' [C#] with young [Bm] Ramble Away
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So come all [D] you young ladies take a warning [A] by me _ [Bm] When caught in [D] the boys don't be easy [A] and free
_ _ [Bm] Just dress yourselves up as you step out [F#] to play [A] _
But [Bm] take care if you meet with [A] young Ramble Away
