Intro: D Dm C Dm C
F
They call me a drifter, they say I'm no good

                                  Dm
I'll never amount to a thing

Well I may be a drifter and I may be no good

I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please

At night I will rest 'neath a blanket of blue

Doubt if I ever will change

I might even wind up in Idaho

C             F           Bb
And visit a cute little miss

                                     F
A sweet little someone I used to know

                        G                 C                  Am    C
And I might even stop long enough for a kiss.

Saddle tramp, saddle tramp

Might even ride back through Phoenix someday

            F                 Dm    A
Might even stop for awhile

             F                                     C
But branded, no never! I'll not be tied down

Trapped by a fair lady's smile.

Saddle tramp, saddle tramp

I'm as free as the breeze and I ride where I please

Saddle tramp, saddle tramp!
