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
Lord 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
Got a girl in Cincinnati
waitin' where
the Ohio River flows
those girls
I'm a Ramblin' Man
don't give your heart
to a Ramblin' Man
You'd better move away
you're standing too close
to the flame
Once I mess
with your mind
your little heart
won't be the same
Lord I'm a Ramblin' Man
don't mess around
with any old
Ramblin' Man
Well up in Chicago
I was known
as quite a boy
yes I was
Down in Alabama
they call me
the man of joy
and still do
Yeah I'm a Ramblin' Man
don't fall in love
with a Ramblin' Man
You'd better move away
you're standing too close
to the flame
Once I mess
with your mind
your little heart
won't be the same
Lord I'm a Ramblin' Man
don't mess around
with any old
Ramblin' Man
