                                                  GAll you fine young bloods must think yourselves immune
A                                                 GFrom the traps that time will set in the sweetest tune
         D                                       GYou must whistle up your winds and rosin up your bow
    A                                                          DBut none can foretell which is the path the restless muse will go

[Verse]
                                               CI used to take delight in my 'baccy and strong beer
    D                                                 CI'd blow the smoke rings way up high, watch them disappear
        G                                           CAnd I'd drain the tumblers dry just to loosen up my tongue
        D                                           GAnd I'd sing the weary miles behind with a rambling song

     D                                                      CI've met with poor men who were kings and rich men who were slaves
