I was talking to a swaggy yesterday
F C
His beard was long his hair was silver grey
F C
His dress was out of style but he wore a friendly smile
Am F C
And here is what the old man had to say
C F C
“You may think me most unusual my boy
F C
When I tell you straight that I am stony broke
F C
I tramp from year to year and I'll drink all kinds of beer
Am F C
But I like to have good 'baccy when I smoke"
C F C
Now I'll show you this here old terbacco tin
F C
The paint is gone the sides are dinted in
F C
But it's opened many a bottle in its wild and chequered life
Am F C
And to me it has always been a friend

C F C
I one time had a wife and everything
F C
But a stranger came and soon we were apart
F C
So I left my friends and home and I hit the road to roam
Am F C
But nicotine has mended my old heart
C F C
I've got no use for money in my life
F C
You strive and struggle till it gets you down
F C
I tramp until I lag and then I'll drop my swag
Am F C
And I'll sit and smoke and watch the world go 'round
C F C
When finally I reach the golden gates
F C
They say St Peter he's a decent bloke
F C
If I'm taken with the blessed this will be my last request
Am F C
I must have good terbaccy when I smoke
C F C
Yes I was talking to that swaggy yesterday
F C
And what he told me I'll remember clear
F C
Trampin' out there with the breeze happy as the birds and bees
Am F C
And I reckon that he has the right idea.
