[Instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
I been rambling here
I been rambling there
Traverse 'cross Equestria
Ramble everywhere
Rambled since my donkey heart got broken in two
Matilda, I ramble for you
[Chorus]
You know I ain't no stranger to the Cranky Doodle Blues
But I haven't met defeat
Though I've walked each country mile
And every city street
I've walked everywhere
Where there is sun and moon above
I ramble for Matilda
My love
[Verse 2]
I trekked to Appleoosa
Through the dust and dirt and hay
Was blinded in Manehattan
By the lights of old Broadway
I've trudged through every season
Straight through ice and heat and dew
Matilda, I do it for you
[Chorus]
You know I ain't no stranger to the Cranky Doodle Blues
But I haven't met defeat
Though I've walked each country mile
And every city street
One thing that makes me cranky
And gets my whole life down
Are these nights without Matilda
That make me frown
Yeah, make me frown
[Harmonica solo]
[Spoken]
I feel a frown coming on
[Instrumental solos]
[Verse 3]
No Matilda here
No Matilda there
I've rambled 'cross Equestria
And she ain't nowhere
I'll ramble into Ponyville
Towing memories of when
When I thought I'd see Matilda again
[Outro]
(Thought I'd see Matilda again)
