-1* -2   3    3  3* 3  -2* 3   3* 3
Oh! we ain’t got a bar-rel of mon-ey, 
-3* -3*  4   -3* -3  -3*  4 -3*
May-be we're rag-ged and fun-ny, 
-3*  -4    4  -4  4  -5*
But we'll tra-vel a-long, 
 3   3* -3  -3*  -1*  -2  -1*
Sing-in' a song, side by side. 
  3    3     3*    3  -2*  3  3*  3
Don't know what's com-in' to-mor-row, 
-3* -3*  4  -3*  -3  -3*  4  -3*
May-be it's trou-ble and sor-row, 
-3*  -4    4  -4   4   -5*
But we'll tra-vel the road, 
 3   3*  -3   -3*  -1*  -2 -1*
Sha-rin' our load, side by side. 
 3   -5*  -5*  -5*-5*  -5 
Thru all kinds of wea-ther, 
 -5  -5 -5  -5    3     4
What if the sky should fall, 
 4   4*  -5  5   -5   5   -5  4
Just as long as we're to-geth-er, 
-2   4   4   4  -3* 4  -3*
It does-n't mat-ter at all. 
 -1*   -2     3   3    3*
When they've all had their 
 3    -2*  3   3*  3
quar-rels and part-ed, 
 -3* -3*  4  -3*  -3 -3*  4  -3*
We'll be the same as we start-ed, 
 -3*  4    -4  4  -5*
Just trav'-lin a-long, 
 3   3* -3  -3*   -5* -6  -5*
Sing-in' a song, side by side.
