Slim Dusty - Ramblin' Shoes lyrics

I'm feelin' down and lonesome and you might laugh at me Sittin' in the deep depths of the blues I'm sittin' here a'talkin to two old friends of mine A pair of busted worn out knocked out shoes Although they might be covered with dust from many miles Oh i love them so my worn out ramblin' shoes Oh i love them my worn out ramblin' shoes My life has turned a tumble I'm walkin' here in town But it's not the kind of life that i would choose But there will come a mornin' when i'll light out again Proudly wearing you old ramblin' shoes And your soles will all be mended and you'll be shinin' just like new Steppin' out again old ramblin' shoes Oh steppin' out again old ramblin' shoes So don't you come a stompin' into my dreams at night Givin' me these awful city blues Oh you're placed here by my bedside so don't you move again Or i'll lock you up until it's time to move But you're made from Gypsy leather like the sinews of my heart And that's why we get along old ramblin' shoes Oh that's why we get along old ramblin' shoes So when i walk that last road to the wanderers camp on high I hope i'm taken with the chosen few My clothes will not splendid my manners not so neat But i'll be wearing you old busted worn out shoes And the men on high are wise men and they'll see what we've been through And say welcome home old worn out ramblin' shoes Oh welcome home old worn out ramblin' shoes
