C                     F
Three fingers whiskey pleasures the drinker
    C                                       G
But moving does more than that drinking for me
C                      F         C
Willy he tells me that doers and thinkers
    C                          G        C
Say moving's the closest thing to being free
   C                      F
He rosined his riggin, he laid back his wages
     C                          G
He's dead set on ridin' the big rodeos
C                        F       C
My woman's tight with an overdue baby
    C                       G           C
And Willy keeps yelling hey big T let's go


Chorus:
G                      F          C
Willy you're wild as a Texas Blue Norther
G                          F         C
Ready rolled from the same makins as me
      C                        F            C
And I reckon we'll ramble till hell freezes over
C                   G         C
Willy the wandering Gypsy and me


Now ladies we surely will take up your pleasures
But I've got to warn ya there never will be
A single soul living can put brand or handle
On Willy the wandering Gypsy and me

Well they dance on the mountains and they shout in the canyons
And they swarm in a loose herd like the wild buffalos
Jammin' our heads full of figures and angles
And tellin' us stuff that we already know

Chorus
