[A] [D] [Bm]
[Em] [A] [D]

[Em] [E] [D] I've been wandering through this land, [G] doing the best [Em] I can.

And [Em] I can't [A] help but wonder where [D] I'm bound, where [Bm] I'm bound.

[Em] [A] [D] Now I had a little girl one time, she [G] had lips like sherry [Em] wine.
[A] And she loved me till my head went plum [D] insane.

[Em] Can't [A] help but wonder where [D] I'm bound.
And I had a buddy back home, [G] but he [B] started out to roam.
[Em]
[A] And I hear he's out by [D] Frisco Bay.
And sometimes when I've had a few, his [G] old [B] voice comes a ringing through.
[A] And I'm going out to see him some [D] old day.
[Em] And I can't [A] help but wonder where [D] I'm bound, where [Bm] I'm bound.

[Em] [A] [D] Well if you see me passing by, [G] and you sit [B] and you wonder why.
[A] And you wish that you were a [D] rambler too.
Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor, lay [G] some up [B] and bar the door.
Thank [A] your stars for the roof that's [D] over you.
[Em] And I can't [A] help but wonder where [D] I'm bound, where [Bm] I'm bound.
[Em] Can't [A] help but wonder [D] where I'm bound.
