Chords

E B7 E A E B7 E

He knows the boxcar tricks, from his hat to his bindlestick
And he struts the tracks all day and sings
But when Jimmy starts to amble no there ain't no gamble
Got the loosey in his hat and his blade's hard to handle
Cause Jimmy Stabbs' the Wandering King!

He struts the railroad tracks, and twirls his hankerpack
Drifts California up and down
But when Jimmy starts a roaming, no there ain't no slowing
Lives the code when it suits him and he don't when it doesn't
Cause Jimmy wears the wandering crown!

Jimmy loves the boxcar life, he's grinning at his knife
Guy's got his whiskey flask and drinks
When he's sleeping late at night, Jimmy's counting all the stars
With a smile on his mug, big as FDR's
Cause Jimmy Stabbs the Wandering King!
