Ramblin Jack And Mahan

D D A A D D E A A A Now a Ramblin' Jack Elliot said: A I got these lines in my face A D Tryin' to straighten out the wrinkles in my life E When I think of all the fools I've been E A It's a wonder that I've sailed this many miles A To which Larry Mahan replied: A He said, "The sweet bird of youth D D Was sittin' on my shoulder yesterday E But she's always changin' partners E A A And I always knew she'd up and fly away" D Stayin' up all night D In the Driskill Hotel A Ramblin' Jack and Mahan A Was cowboyed all to hell D The room smelled like bulls D The words sound like songs E Now there's a pair to draw to boys A I would not steer you wrong D D A A D D E A A A So ol' Ramblin' Jack said, A He said, "I recall a time D I set my soul on fire just for show E All it ever taught me was E A The more I learn the less I seem to know" A Ol' Mahan crawled out from behind a couch and said, E "Jack, as far as I can see D Mistakes are only horses in disguise E There ain't no need to ride 'em over E A 'Cause we could not ride them different if we tried" D Stayin' up all night D In the Driskill Hotel A Ramblin' Jack and Mahan A Was cowboyed all to hell D The room smelled like bulls D The words sound like songs E Now there's a pair to draw to boys A I would not steer you wrong D Stayin' up all night D In the Driskill Hotel A Ramblin' Jack and Mahan A Was cowboyed all to hell D The room smelled like bulls D The words sound like songs E Now there's a pair to draw to boys A I would not steer you wrong D D A A D D E A
