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 Cincinatti
Waitin' where the
Ohio river flows
Poor old 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 be the same
Lord I'm a ramblin' man
Don't mess around with
Any old ramblin' man
Better not
Well up in Chicago I was
Known as quite a boy
Yes I was
Down in Alabama
They call me the man of joy
Still do yeah
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 be the same
Lord I'm a ramblin' man
Don't mess around with
Any old ramblin' man
