Now it's pay day, well oh pay day,
Well oh pay day, yes pay day
Won't be here any more, and it's pay day
Won't be here any more.
I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler,
I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler
A long way from home, I'm a rambler
A long way from home.
And you'll miss me, well you'll miss me,
Well you'll miss me, you'll miss me
My family when I'm gone, well you'll miss me
My family when I'm gone.
Now it's pay day, well oh pay day,
Well oh pay day, yes pay day
At coal creek tomorrow, well it's pay day
At coal creek tomorrow.
