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.
