I'm a Ramblin' Man |
I’ve been down the Mississippi, |
Down through New Orleans, |
Yes, I have. |
I’ve played in California, |
There ain’t too much I haven’t seen. |
No, there ain’t. |
Well, I’m a ramblin' man, |
Don’t fool around with a ramblin' man. |
Left a girl in West Virginia, |
Up there where that green grass grows, |
Yes, I did. |
Another girl in Cincinnati, |
Waitin' where the Ohio River flows, |
Poor girl! |
I’m a ramblin' man, |
Don’t give your heart to a ramblin' man. |
You’d better move away, |
You’re standin' too close to the flame. |
Once I mess with your mind, |
Your little heart won’t beat the same. |
Lord, I’m a ramblin' man, |
Don’t mess around with any ol' ramblin' man. |
Better not! |
Well, up in Chicago, |
I was known as «Quiet Boy,» |
Yes, I was! |
Down in Alabama, |
They call me «The man of joy,» |
Still do! |
Well, I’m a ramblin' man, |
Don’t fall in love with a ramblin' man. |
You’d better move away, |
You’re standin' too close to the flame. |
Once I mess with your mind, |
Your little heart won’t beat the same. |
Lord, I’m a ramblin' man, |
Don’t mess around with any ol' ramblin' man. |
