[Cm] [Eb] [Bb]
[Cm] [G]
[Cm] As I go a-walking down Birmingham [Bb] Street
[Cm] In my new scarlet [Eb]
jacket [Ab] all neat [Bb] and complete
[Eb] The girls [Cm] all [Gm] say [Ab] as they pass [G] me by
[Eb] Is that the [Cm] young man they [Bb] call [Gm] Ramble away
[Cm]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [G]
[Cm] As I was [Eb] a-walking [Cm] to [Bb] Birmingham Fair
[Cm] I saw lovely [Eb] Nancy [Ab] a-curling [Bb] her hair
[Eb] I tipped her [Cm] the wink and [Ab] she rode her [G] doggy
[Eb] And said, I [Cm] to myself, [Bb] I'll be there [G] by and [Cm] by
[Eb] [Bb]
[Cm] [G]
[Cm] As I was a-walking that night [Bb] in the dark
[Cm] I took my [Eb] bright Nancy [Ab] to be [Bb] my sweetheart
She [Eb] smiled in [Cm] my face [Ab] and to me she did [G] say
[Eb] Aren't you the [Cm] young man they [Bb] call [Gm] Ramble [Cm] away
[Eb] [Bb] [Cm]
[G]
[Cm] I said, my [Eb] dear Nancy, [Cm] don't smile [Bb] in my face
For [Cm] I do not [Eb] intend to [Ab] stay long in [Bb] this place
[Eb] Then where [Cm] are you going, [Ab] come [Fm] tell me, [G] my dear
I [Eb] told her [Cm] I'd Ramble, [Bb] the [Gm] devil knows [Cm] where
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb]
[G]
[Cm] Before [Eb] twelve weeks [Cm] was [Bb] over and past
[Cm] This pretty [Eb] young Nancy [Fm] she grew sick [Bb] at last
[Eb] Her dress, [Cm] wooden pin, or [Ab] her apron [G] strings tied
And [Eb] she longed for [Cm] this sight of [Bb] young Ramble [G] [Cm] away
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb]
[G]
[Cm] My dad [Eb] and mum [Cm]
have both [Bb] gone from home
[Cm] But when they [Eb] return I [Ab]
won't sit down [Bb] and mourn
[Eb] I'll tell [Cm] them this story [Ab]
and leave them [G] to say
Well, [Eb] no doubt she's been [Cm] playing with [Bb] young [Gm] Ramble away
[Cm]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Cm] [G]
[Cm] So come all you [Eb] young ladies, [Cm] take a warning [Bb] by me
[Cm] When courting the [Eb] boys, don't [Ab] be easy [Bb] and free
[Eb] Just dress [Cm] yourselves up [Gm] as [Ab] you step out [G] to play
But [Eb] take care [D] if you meet [Bb] with young Ramble [Gm] away
[Cm] [Eb] [Bb]
