N.C.                  G          C        G
Well, the first of me rambles, I now will sing
                       C             D
Like any small bird or thrush on the wing
              G           C         D
When the sun arose for to bless the land
                     G           C    G
Well, I was free and easy for to jog along

[Verse]
                        G              C     G
Well, the first place I rambled was to Derry Quay
                            C      D
Just a few miles distant of Ballybofey
            G           C      D
They sat me down for to sing a song
                   G           C    G
For I was free and easy for to jog along

[Verse]
                       G              C       G
Well, the next place I rambled was to Glasgow green
                                C     D
Where the lads and lassies were to be seen
              G           C       D
But I was the blithest of all the throng
                   G           C    G
For I was free and easy for to jog along

[Verse]
                G          C          G
Well, I had not gone but a very short space
                           C            D
When a nice, wee girl, she smiled in my face
             G          C       D
She asked of me, am I a married man
                 G           C    G
No, I'm free and easy for to jog along

[Verse]
                  G          C     G
Well, I took this wee girl into an inn
                       C              D
There we drank brandy, strong ale and gin
             G                C         D
She asked of me, would I give heart and hand
                       G           C    G
And give o'er free and easy for to jog along

[Verse]
            G            C            G
Oh no, fair maiden, such things can't be
                      C         D
For I am bound for to cross the sea
                G            C       D
When a man gets married, his race is run
                      G           C    G
He's no more free and easy for to jog along

[Verse]
               G              C      G
Look at yonder stream, how it gently glides
                          C      D
It can go no further than it's allowed
             G               C       D
It can go no further that it gets command
                     G           C    G
But me, I'm free and easy for to jog along
