I was ^Ctalking to a ^Fswaggy yester^Cday His ^Fbeard was long his hair was silver ^Cgrey His ^Fdress was out of style but he ^Cwore a friendly smile And ^Amhere is what the ^Fold man had to ^Csay

“You ma^Cy think me mos^Ft unusual m^Cy boy When I ^Ftell you straight that I am stony ^Cbroke I ^Ftramp from year to year and I’l^Cl drink all kinds of beer But I ^Amlike to have good ^F'baccy when I ^Csmoke"

Now I’l^Cl show you this her^Fe old terbacc^Co tin The ^Fpaint is gone the sides are dinted ^Cin But it’^Fs opened many a bottle in it^Cs wild and chequered life And to ^Amme it has ^Falways been a ^Cfriend

I ^Cone time had a ^Fwife and every^Cthing But a ^Fstranger came and soon we were a^Cpart So I ^Fleft my friends and home and I ^Chit the road to roam But ^Amnicotine has ^Fmended my old ^Cheart

I’v^Ce got no use fo^Fr money in m^Cy life You ^Fstrive and struggle till it gets you ^Cdown I ^Ftramp until I lag and then I’l^Cl drop my swag And I’l^Aml sit and smoke an^Fd watch the world g^Co 'round

When ^Cfinally I ^Freach the golden ^Cgates They ^Fsay St Peter he’s a decen^Ct bloke If I’^Fm taken with the blessed this wil^Cl be my last request I ^Ammust have good ^Fterbaccy when I ^Csmoke

Yes I was ^Ctalking to that ^Fswaggy yester^Cday And ^Fwhat he told me I’ll remembe^Cr clear ^FTrampin’ out there with the breeze happy as th^Ce birds and bees And I ^Amreckon that he ^Fhas the right i^Cdea.
